Lots and lots and lots of nut buster. Use PB-Blaster by name - aka soak
EVERYTHING with it. I soaked mine for about a month before I went and
reaplced them. This was following the fact that I tried to get one out
without using any oil and it SNAPPED. The others came out easy. there
are 6 mounts - two at teh front - two under the doors and two at teh
rear of the cab. The middle ones are most likly to give you hell. It
was the passenger side middle mount bolt that snapped on me. Those get
most of the road debris and salt and crud so they tend to seize and rust
solid. The problem with the middle mounts is you cant get to the keeper
that is the problem. You can only get to the underside - which isnt
where you really need the oil. Inorder to be able to spray them - your
inner fenders have to be removedand you have to spray the buster through
a square hole at the bottom of the firewall. Not too difficult to do...
but make sure you hit those bolts with nut buster if you decide to
remove the inner fenders.
