Tackling the demon bolt...

If the threads are stripped, you gotta cut the nut. Usually you can cut it through on one side and then you can get the nut to grip the threads again.

Had to do this the other day on one of my front sway bar studs.

I have defeated the demon bolt and the world is saved. Now we can all live peacefully...

I ended up asking my neighbor for help. He presented a torch and helped me out. Torched the b!tch a$$ and it came loose. The passenger side snapped in two but that doesn't matter because it came out. The driver side made a loud crack sound and started to spin. I swear I put something like 1000 ft lbs into that thing to get it turning. I was shooting sweat out of all my pores using so much force.

I used the bolt extractors. When we heated the bolts up, it was easier to hammer the bolt extractor in to get a better bite. This way it turned. I feel so good accomplishing this lol.

So what are these cats worth if I were to sell them?
