| Anyone know how to take out seized bolts. Impossible to take out by hand, is there a place that rents out impact guns or something? had such a hard time taking them out. |

| Ill try a long steel hollow pole and throw it onto the rachet for lever, ill see if that works, im hoping it should, as theres a lot more power. |

Watch out - when you are using a long extension you face the problem of TOO much power. |

| Back in newfoundland every bolt is seized, there's a ton of tricks...heat works, so does liquid wrench or rust check(red bottle), hit it head on with a hammer to break it loose...and then there's always a pipe on a rachet, but make sure the socket is tight cause its easy to strip the head of it. |

but if the bolt is corroded you might snap it even though it is big |

What is this bolt for?
For me when I did my suspension. A couple bolts on the rear end I found weren't worth saving. I just ordered new ones from the dealer and cut those off. |

Throw a shitload of heat at it with a propane torch and then spray it with liquid wrench/wd40. Be sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby just in case. I have never had a fire start, but it's better safe than sorry.
I've gotten some pretty rusty bolts loose using this method.:thumbup: |

19mm should be ok, but ya, be careful, if you break it it's a whole new nightmare.
I would just take it too a shop and get them to take it off using an impact gun, it's not worth the (potential) hassles. |
