Long time reader first time poster. I am doing a 3in ome lift on my 01. My problem is I cant get the stud for the tranny cross member out. I tried the two nut method followed by the vise grip method. It will turn about a quarter of a turn clockwise and counter clockwise. No further. Any ideas?

PB blaster and/or heat.

Just keep workin it. I took a pipe wrench to mine.

thanks..the heat worked for one side but the weld on the frame nut broke loose on the other....Now I suppose I have to cut the frame to get a nut on the other side.

Had same problem this fixed it

Please reconsider cutting the frame
Usually not a good idea

Someone broke all of mine (Bought it with a blown motor and half apart)... I tried burning them out with an o2, but they didn't like that. I ended up grinding them flat with the unibody and machining my own spacers and welding in grade 8 bolts. Took that block and welded it to the unibody.

Don't be scared, but just know there is always a way.
