i have been working on trying to drop my drive shaft for 4 days now... after the first day of getting no where i decided to soak the shit out of the 4 bolts in wd40 overnight and when i got up the next morning i soaked them again before heading to school... well when i came home i tried everything i could think of: muscle, put a pipe on the end of the wrench and bounce it and NOTHING works and im REALLY starting to get pissed cause they don't budge at all!!!:censored:

any suggestions? cause i would like to drop my tranny tonight but the way its goin that aint gnna happen!!!

thanks

it's only a bolt!! put the wrech on there and smack that mother with a mallet. and keep using a bigger hammer until it budges. Try heating the pinion flange

Put a length of pipe over the wrench for leverage, and/or bust out the propane torch and get the flange hot to melt the threadlock.

The kind of heat you will need may take the temper out of the bolts. I recommend replacing the bolts.

[kurdawert]

YA use some heat and after heating it and doing what all you have done to those bolts definatly replace them.
