Can't get strut to knuckle bolts off

Post by Shaggy »

So i'm doing my bearing and I'm down to taking the bolts and nuts that connec the rear right knuckle to the strut. I've broke a few tools trying to get them off. What donmost people use to get theses off. Do I need to impact wrench them off, should I just use some liquid wrench and elbow grease. I can get the bolt to spin but I can't breake it free from the nut. Anyones imput would be appreciated

I've used everything, normally I put a wrench on one side and breaker bar on the other after soaking it in PB Blaster. Tight fit for most impact guns & deep impact sockets.
