I didn't even have to lean into it. Just a little bit of arm effort and the thing cracked loose. Another 1.5 turns and and it broke off. All of a 30 sec job including climbing under the car to make sure the socket was fully seated on the bolt head.

The 3/8 drive 14mm Harbor Freight socket cracked like an egg a while back. I knew it would lol.
The Snap-on 1/2 to 3/8 drive adaptor/36 inch extension along with Snap-on 14mm swivel socket were doing ok but I could tell the 3/8 drive wasn't quite enough. I had a Harbor Freight 3/8 drive impact universal swivel that was in between them and as soon as I put any force on it the thing broke apart (repairable but not able to withstand the demon bolt torque).
Success came from a Snap-on 1/2 drive 14mm impact swivel socket and 1/2 drive Snap-on impact universal swivel along with a smorgasbord of 1/2 extensions and a 24 inch Harbor Freight breaker bar.

Magma red peaking through the shadows. Dog does NOT like the car turbo'd. I hit the gas and he slid back into the seat and was planted there, wide eyed and tongue hanging out.

I took it easy after that and let him stick his head out the window and smell the world going by.

It is really close but the rubber tucks under the fender, barely. I have to do final adjustments to coils. rears will be raised ~1/4" and ffronts ~3/8". I didnt hear or see any rubbing anywhere.

Nice. Now I see why you get a little bit of poke.

Thinking about some Chinese for dinner. And I really want to smoke a rack of ribs Sunday. Thinking about hickory pellets, spray down with apple vinegar, and topped with vinegar sauce.
