Rear tow hook
 
Have a 2011 JKU and am changing rear bumper. Got bumper off but can not for the life of me remove the 3 bolts that connect the rear tow hook. Any ideas? I don't have an impact wrench and no air tools. All I have is a breaker bar.

Bigger bar. Find a fat kid to jump on it.

Sounds like a piece of pipe is in order. Just removed mine a few days ago so I know what you mean, they're frickin tight. I bought a piece of black pipe years ago at lowes and cut it down to around 18". When I break that bad boy out, somethings going to give! Luckily so far it hasn't been a ratchet or breaker bar :eek2:

Take the handle off your floor jack. I use mine all the time as a breaker bar.

That's why I buy craftsman tools , break it and take a trip to sears. " I have no idea how it happened, guess I don't know my own strength"

I loosened the bolts just enough to where I could get a sawzall blade in and cut them off.

I broke 2 Snap-On sockets just taking my seats out...

Sockets? I usually break the ratchet.
