Question lost for options- bolt stuck

Disclaimer : This is not a pity petition

what options do I have? I am doing a clutch install and I am trying to remove the top 4 bolts of the bellhousing, but they just on too tight. Not " I pulled and they didnt move, i give up, tight" but really ...worked my butt of and just cant get them to move. What options do I really have? I cant be the only one who has tried to do a project on their own and gotten to point where they dont see how they can continue.

Thanks as always
Josh

Use a really long extension through the tunnel where your shifter was and use an impact gun if you have to. You could also spray the bolts first with Kroil or some other rust buster.

Impact guns are great for loosening rusty bolts. The "pulsing" really helps break it free... where as an L-handel might crack the head off..

My vote goes to using an impact gun
