Need some help with guibo removal

[jdvorwe]

Anyone in the Towson/Baltimore/695 area want to come over and help me? Could maybe offer up some beer or something. Yesterday, I removed the exhaust and replaced my motor mounts, as well as removed the heat shield and all the other prep work for replacing the guibo. Today, I spent 4 hours out there pushing, budging and trying to get creative and didn't get a single bolt out.

Here is the thread I posted earlier in transmission and drivetrain, just so you know how I was trying to do things: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=213611

Not sure if this will work for you but, I have used the jack to pry on one end of the wrench and use the weight of the car to break it loose

Sounds scary. An impact gun would be useful for this job. Maybe even one of the cheap plug in ones from autozone. Not sure what tq they get to but it might be enough to help. I take them off all day long with my Snap-On 1/2" electric and a wrench :)

i vote impact gun

Yeah, my mom's boyfriend said he thinks he has one (a impact wrench), hoping he does so I can borrow it.

If not, guess I'll have to find a place that rents them. Not trying to drop 150-200 on a tool right now. Unless one of you guys wants to come lend me one?? :D

And yeah, i've tried just about all the options I can think of/people have said except Toadlegs. I only have one jack and it is supporting my transmission, so that one is impossible. lol.

call home depot. i know they rent tools.

Use three box end wrenches, apply force on bolt head while the other wrench on the nut finds something to stop on. You can use a (3rd) bigger box end hooked to the moving wrench for more leverage. (best results with cross member attached to chassis and good gloves)

Is it free like an autoparts store or do you have to pay?
