Default Need Help Quick Please...!!!! Can't break suspension bolts loose...

I'm having trouble breaking the 17mm loose that holds the shock fork to the lower control arm... I have an air compressor, I obviously can't break it loose by hand, I've used silicone spray and I'm out of ideas... Any suggestions would be appreciated...

leverage, get a long breaker bar or a pipe over the rachet(1/2 rachet prefered with a 6 point socket) and start crankin.

Thanx for the quick response... I put a breaker bar on it had my dad hold the head of the bolt with a 17mm wrench... Came right off... Thanx man...

Jack the car up high enough so that you can slip a pipe (2-3 Feet) over the ratchet.

I got the 17mm loose, now it's the ball joint that eludes me... I've banged the **** outa the LCA but it hasn't popped yet... I have a friend (DIRep) on the way over to pull up on the hub as I bang the LCA to help free the ball joint... Suspension is drama...
