Lower control arm bolt wont budge

Any have a tip on how to get the control arm bolts out? Having a hell of a time getting the bolts out, even with an impact. Thanks!

I used a 30" breaker bar. Worked like a charm! My impact would budge em

Yeah mine were a pain. I used a big breaker bar like said above. My buddies wj were so hard we heated them and used a 1/2 inch snap-on air impact gun

Thanks guys. Picked up a 30" and the bolts spun right off.

Yeah, if you use a regular wrench it won't do anything. A breaker bar is an invaluable tool for working on the Jeep.

Can defiantly agree with that. I'm new to doing the work myself, so still in the process of acquiring the right tools.
