orileys 24 bucks i think. use some penetrating oil and let it sit for a while.

I suggest heating if you can

I did my HFC's on Saturday. What a serious pain! Snapped the bolt on the passenger side but the driver side came out whole. I read the DIY but still wasn't expecting that much trouble. Glad to have said I have slayed the Demon!

You poor guys. You need to learn about what I use and trust me...it works very well.


Penetrating-Lubricating Oils

BigAudiofan i ordered some of this stuff 2 days ago. Hope it works as good as you say! i will let you know as soon as i do my Install:tup:

Use 1/2" extensions and a breaker and a lot of muscle and you'll do fine. Take your time with the penetrating lubricant... if you rush it, you are going to round the bolt, I guarantee it. I got mine off intact but I was close to giving up.

I had zero problems removing these so called "demon bolts". I feel y'alls plight though.

Skeeterbop 12-16-2011 11:42 PM

haha, that was a PITA. We spent forever the first day on those bolts. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like with the short tails on there :tup:

mine popped right off. '11 with ~2000miles on it, used full half inch drive breaker bar and 4 extensions and deep well socket, first good tug the head snapped off on both. ~2mins tops for both of them.

I had about 22k when I did mine I believe. My buddy layed under the car and held the socket on the bolts after I snaked our frankentool thru the engine bay. A couple were semi tight but nothing our breaker bar couldnt handle with ease.
