Hey guys,
So my Transfer case blew apart on me driving down the highway last weekend and I've been taking it apart as I have time and I've removed the crossmember but the transmission mount does not want to budge at all, I tried using my hi lift bar as a cheater bar and still nothing, it just stripped out the ratchet. I sprayed both bolts down with PB Blaster yesterday hoping to remove them today but no movement. Any suggestions to try next to try and get these bolts loose?
TIA

Ratchets cant cut tough bolt loosening. You need a breaker bar, and best bet is a six point socket rather than 12. If that fails, an impact gun. An impact gun usually cuts it Or if no impact gun try heat, put a torch on the nut, avoiding direct flame on the bolt. heat will expand the nut, and help break it free. apply heat, then immediately while hot try the wrench on it
good luck!
good luck!
