I need bigger tools...
I m in the process of removing the rear suspension and control arms. After 11+ years the bolts have found their location quite comfortable and refuse to budge. I've tried air tools, manual tools with "mr. levarge" attatched, penatraiting oil, and sawzalls. Nothing seems to work. How do I get these old bolts out?

I got the nuts off on one side. They screamed bloody murder the whole way off... and my arms are killing me. I used an old torque wrench and impact socket to secure the nut while using mr leverage and full body weight on the bolt.
Now that I got the nuts off, i need to force teh bolts out of the holes... should be abit easier than the nuts... should be.
