absolutely need the right tools. From what I've seen and heard, the u-joint impact swivels work best.

Miles of course increase the rust and corrosion of the demon bolts. But I've heard of guys with less than 2K miles having to torch the fuckin things to get them off. The best thing you can do, no matter what the mileage, is
PB Blaster the hell out of it. And I don't mean use a whole can of the stuff in one sitting - I mean you need to put the car up on jack stands 3+ days before the install day. PB Blaster the bolts liberally every day at least a couple of times. This will go a loooooong way towards helping defeat those wretched demon bolts. Unfortunately, this isn't an option for everyone.
