A lot of times, the blows from an impact will knock things loose that don't want to come loose by brute force. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 78 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 78 | Thanks guys finally got it! square socket long bar and hammer - I think it may have been it there since the truck left the factory.....

On stuck ones a pair of Knipex Plier Wrench have worked great for me. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Don't think it's pipe thread, the ones I've run across are straight thread with a gasket.
