Default Serious... Please help!!!

Hi,
So I had to come to Albuquerque on business. And while I'm here my front driveshaft is spraying all the grease everywhere and making a weird noise. So I figure I'd just take it off so I can get myself back to las cruces, nm. Well for the life of me I cannot get the four bolts off the front of the shaft.

Any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

Thank you

They have thread lock on them. They are a pain to break loose with out a pull handle/ cheater bar.

Best bet is to buy or borrow a breaker bar and maybe a cheater pipe for it. Unless you've got a really tough ratchet in your socket set, you might blow the gears in your ratchet if you try to put a cheater pipe on it.

Take 2 wrenches and put them together box end to open end to make a generic breaker bar.

This works.

Another way it to put the box end of the wrench onto your socket

Put a wrench on it and use your feet to push it. U will get Alot more force on it. They are a pita though and do have loctite.
