Check the fluid level it may have leaked down below were it should be. Of course it could have been over filled also.

Just put it in gear, set the brake and use a box end wrench and a mallet to pop them loose (poor mans impact gun). I don't think there is room to actually get a socket and air gun in there. That is how I've gotten a few tight ones off. And, as a side note, if they are overtorqued, they can smash the caps on the U-joint causing early failure, be gentle when reinstalling (torque specs are important). I hope that's helpful.

That's my method.

Good luck!

I think what he means is that we are only suppose to use up 5 lines with our sigs and your using 13 I think and thats including your spaces, lines with nothing in them.

Count how many line below the solid line. I guess?

Yup bud, that's correct. LordM- you should start a website, and then link to it. That's what I did to cut down on what I had in my sig.
