I was able to get the 4 easy bolts moving and out. They weren't a problem at all.

The two demon bolts from the engine is killer though. Will try again after I wake up in the morning. I PB blasted them before I left it alone.

I used a 15" breaker bar with a pipe extension to try and get the demon bolts moving. Still no luck.

As for driving the car to warm it up, that is not an option as the injects have been changed and intake manifold is off right now.

I will update tomorrow if I even get them moving.

Thanks guys

IMPACT swivels are key. They don't bind like normal swivels do. Chances are, if you're using ~20-30" of total breaker bar length, and you aren't getting any movement, it's because your swivels are binding and you're just putting torque on them instead of the nuts.

This is what I have, super cheap and get the job done. 2 Piece Universal Impact Joint Set
