How did you do it with the lift?? I had a lift and still didn't work for me?? I tried turning the wheel to the left and right but barely even had enough space with my hand. I will look into buying a bolt extractor now. What penetrating oil did you guys use??

There is a certain angle the from the bottom you can get a wrench in their (not a socket wrench)

And I used PB blaster for all of them except the demon bolt, that I used the heat/water technique
