Wait.
Divorce?
I thought you were just proposing like a month ago?

 

Sorry to hear man. I'm in Lancaster but grew up in Wyoming county. I may be able to swing by Sunday if you're free.

 

I dig this. Wish I lived close enough to help, the best thing right now seems like some good productive hard work to keep your mind off the negative.

Its awesome to see people offer their help, hope you get it done man!

 

I'm always down to help a fellow wheeler if I got time! I run a local club and our members are frequently helping out each other.

 

Xj88 no i been married for three years that was another guy postin on my thread who was proposing a month ago im only available weekdays cause im a cook so my weekends a busy workin i work 50 hours a week too so on a work day thats all i have time or let me know whats good for times n i can see what i can work out with my scheduale thanks guys for all input n tryin to help me out i dont mind traveling to anyone near me

 

The front mount for the leaves is inside the frame rail n its got 13 years of ny winters so mad salt exposure the mechanic couldnt even budge it with his impact or my brothers impact either

 

I work all day sundays

 

OK. You free afternoons? And have you tried a torch to loosen it up?

 

Mine had 17 years of Missouri salt n rust...

Have you been spraying with PB Blaster? On the front leaf bolt, you gotta stick the straw in the frame rail and point it (you gotta guess) at the back of the weld nut. Really soak them good.

As for the impact, its hard to get one in there, I'm guessing you used a wobble joint? That robs torque. The best way to break those suckers free is a 1/2" drive wrench with a 2 or 3' cheater bar on it. Put it on that bolt, lay underneath it, and pull that bar down as hard as you can. Remember, the further out on the cheater you hold it, the more torque you apply.

 

we were able to get right on the bolt head no wobble joint needed i did not try getting the pb blaster right in the frame i will try that now hopefully i can break that free cause thats the only thing stopping my brother from helping me we were gonna just torch everything off cause i have all new bolts to mount on but that one front mount is the only c**k block we ran into...

 

torch no did not try that didnt want to burn the carpets from to much heat i usually work 11-9 ten hour shifts take a bite outta fun

 

here is where we got started my dad over torqued my lugs took an hour to get the wheels off had to torch a stud off just to replace the rotors that day we were gonna put the lift on but since the front mount was not budging we stopped i just soaked it n pb blaster and wll keep soaking t untl i get a day off next week and i will try breaking the bolt free thanks for the tips gents!!!

 

dang man sorry to hear, hope everything goes well and yea i bet you want get that lift all done!

 

Yeah, spraying the head of the bolt won't do you any good. There are some holes in the frame near that bolt, just stick the spray straw in there, point it about where you think the weld nut it, and unleash hell...LOL! Same tips goes for upper shock bolts, spray down inside the unibody to get to the weld nut, not the bolt head...rear shackle bolt is the same too.

I ended up dumping about 4 cans of PB Blaster on mine pre-lift. Just spray everywhere...also, on the leaf bolts, stick the straw between the bushing and the mounting box and give it a good soak on both sides to help with seized bushings...

 

alrighty i been spraying in the frame at the weld nut last night today i will keep going until i have time to try breaking it free the other bolts are accessible enough to just torch them off and replace them with new hardware n we didnt spray the head of the bolt didnt spray them at all i will even try a small butane torch thru the frame hole n try heating the nut up to break the rust free im a big boy i should be able to stand on a breaker bar n pop it free with all this prep work im doing now
