I have the new LCA in on the passenger side. Now working on the driver side. I can't get the front bolt to even so much budge. The 12pt socket was slipping on it so I used a friends 6pt craftsman. With a big *** breaker bar on it I still couldn't budge it! Then POP, I broke the DAMN SOCKET!! What to do? I soaked the bolt/nut several times now with WD40. I dont know what to do anymore. I dont have access to a lift or air tools.

Always use 6 pt sockets on larger bolts. I's suggest using an impact socket (stronger socket) and the breaker bar.

 

Tomorrow morning I'll be running to sears to get a new socket, maybe i'll look into an impact socket. Thanks

Let er soak overnight. Then when you get a new socket. Use a breaker bar. But position it so you can use your foot. You can generate a hell of a lot more power with your leg. I usually use an impact wrench, but if one's not available the leg is the way to go. Lay on your back, for the best leverage.
