pneumatic tools own you.

Theres really no solution to this problem. There was like three threads just earlier today about the same thing. Just keep at it, and eventually the bolts will break.

You could try heating it with a torch. Post in the suspension forum too and see what they say.

Just be sure not to snap the bolt, cause that would suck.
