It finally budged. It took a solid hour. But it budged. Thanks for the advice. Turns out the bolt was stripped. And loosening them in reverse order helped.

I also recomend the quick disconects.
They hold up very good.

Strange that that would happen; bolts getting stripped. They really dont require much torque on my JK.

FWIW, they probably could have been drilled out from the top, if needed. Just drill the heads off.

Yeah. I doubt anything will happen in the future. It was just one of those uncooperative days.

Is that plasti-dip on your wheels? How is it holding up?

It's actually a legit powder coat. Sanded, baked, the full nine. It's been a great investment.
