Hey any one got ideas on how to loosen up the bolt. Its really stuck.. Safe to use WD-40 or Valvoline motor oil spray to loosen things up a bit? Wish i had a air gun to unbolt that thing. >:T
can't wait to unbolt.. need tips fast!
oh and does warming up the car help?? lol

Here's what I did... I used a socket wrench and I put it on the bolt. Then I took a long piece of pipe (long enough so that I could get access to it from the side of the car. I put the pipe over the handle of the socket wrench and got out from under the car. Then you pull up on the pipe, this will give you more leverage and help you to get the bolt off.
Hope that made sense... good luck.

What I did was put the socket wrench on and laid on my back and pushed as hard as i could. When the bolt let go I smashed my face on my side skirt :P
I learned after that to use your legs to do it :P
