I have some ls rods and they have arp rod bolts on them. I wanted to take them out since they were in good condition but I've tried all I can to get them out.. what should I do?

you put the rod in a vice and hit it with a 12pt socket and an impact?

Are you trying to remove them so that you can use them at a later date... or sell them ???

I got them out and yes they were in great condition I'm planning on using them on h beams. I'm low on funds for the swap so it'll save me an extra $50 or $60 for a new set

They won't work with an aftermarket rod set... aftermarket rods use a single piece bolt while the ARP replacement bolts (for stock factory connecting rods) are actually special headed bolts used in conjunction with a matching cap nut. In addition, if you cannot say for certain how many times the used bolts have been used/torqued/loosened/re-torqued... I suggest you save up instead of placing your engine at risk.

Yeah sorry I'm very new at this I have little knowledge but I'm taking careful and assured steps to make sure I don't screw anything up.. thank you for telling me very appreciated

I might as well just sell them

No one will buy used ARP rod bolts that have been extracted with unknown use or tensile strength to them.. No one smart, anyway.

That rules out 5% of the honda bros on my facebook groups.
