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

MattP725 · 12-16-2011, 10:44 PM

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

Same here. But my car was brand new.

xipander · 12-17-2011, 01:33 PM

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.
