How are they simply pressed in? Im not sure what a hammer can do if the nut is still welded on to the bolt...

 

^ you hammer it from the front to the back. once you break the nut off you can punch it through fairly easily.

 

Just use your man powers and break all three of the bolts. Put a short socket and long breaker bar on them and snap them off. Or use a combo wrench (box end only) and brute strength.
In other words just turn them till they break.

 

Awesome...

 

I meant welded as in it hasnt been moved since late 2003 and WILL NOT budge lol

be back in a few hopefully with the mp on

 

what size bolts are needed when swapping?

 

^It's true, very helpful

 

Ross: got a mp yet?

 

Should have been able to get it installed in ten minutes.

 

this is the same guy who forgot the marshmallows and graham crackers.
That makes this at least a 3 hour install...

 

Air tools work really well for snaping bolts too lol

 

Damn shop is busy until morning. Ill take it there 'round 7am (5am cali time haha) and he'll get the bolts off. This is taking too long!!!
