Well I twisted it about 1/3 of a turn and the screw will not move. I'm about ready to give up this is ridiculous. It was easier to pull the V8 from the mountaineer than this thing is.

I'm going to put it on a lift so I can twist it till it breaks LOL. I have never in my life encountered such stuck bolts. Smaller ones yes or stainless in aluminum but this is steel in steel and a respectable diameter.

I can't get the rear doors open at the bottom either. Been soaking in brute blast for days. I took the shell off the inside, it is almost like they welded that plate on after they put the latch in. I can't seem to get to anything with a screwdriver.

The thing is this truck looks good. Been re painted but I have had daily drivers in worse shape. Interior light gray, bucket seats, shorty console, electric accessories, and a LS rear end @ 3.73.

If I can't get the bolts out I'll have to pull the tranny with it which means I'll break the transmission lines and have to run new. This is turning in to a "work pit" and I just bought it to sell. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH
