20mm bolts on rear strurs HOW to remove??

hi there have got the top 3 nuts off but the bottom 2 20mm nut/bolts are extremelt tight cant budge em and the bottom bolt is right next to driveshaft so no chance of getting ratchet on nut side?? help please and tips

 

heat!!!!

 

how though not got anything wot u suggest

 

obviously u got the bolt head side and the nut side and the bottom nut is right next to drive shaft so cant get ratchet on nut side. what if i get spanner on bolt head side and long bar or borrow a mates impact wrench (batt) would this help

 

Impact gun is best mate.

 

on the bolt head side?? will it work wont **** bolt will it?

 

its a doddle mate no need for impact wrench! Use a propane torch and heat up the nut! It will expand away from the bolt and u'll be able to crack it off with a ring spanner!
If you cant get any leverage from the nut end just lock it in with a spanner against whatever you can and use a breaker bar from the bolt end.
Heat is always the key with stubborn nuts!!

 

Heat is always the best, impact wrenches can snap bolts! though they do have there uses if your in a hurry.

 

cant use heat !! so how about spanner on the bolt head side and longest bar i can get and jus go for it??

 

Yea, heat is a real good idea next to a gas pressurised shock absorber.

Use a breaker bar and a 19mm impact socket on the bolt head, just don't slip and smack the wheelarch.
Stick a open ended spanner on the nut side.

what he said.. just don't clobber mates car parked next door like I did last time I swapped my suspension

 

sure they were 20mm m8 not 19mm

 

defo 19mm

I do it EVERY day

 

agree on 19mm

 

OK ILL LOOK TOMOZ

 

Think i use an Impact gun in my mates garage when i chnaged my suspension, he always tells me to soak old rusted bolts with WD40 before trying to undo them, less likely to snap then
