hey guys, i'm taking apart some trailing arms, and there are 4 torx nuts (T50) that hold the spindle onto the arm. they are really stubborn, and the torxness doesn't help at all. Any kind of force i put on them, and the torx socket wants to come right out. You guys have any tips on how to get these out? thanks.

Maybe you can attatch the socket to an impact driver. The hammering should keep the socket in place.

buy an electric impact from sears..use it then return it...its the toolbox away from home..

Use an impact gun and be careful. If you strip out the torx bolt you're gonna be fubar'd. Good luck and just take your time

Get you some high quality torx sockets (i.e. Snap-On, maybe Sears), 1/2 drive breaker bar, and a 3/8 to 1/2 drive adapter.

Those bolts are threadlocked on there.
