brushguard help

so i was gonna put it on today but first i had to get the couple hundred pounds of snow out frm the undercarrige. I got that done. But the instructons that came with it kinda suck. I know that its supposed to be bolted where the factory tow hooks r.... but those bolts r a lil rusty what would you suggest to do.

 

get new bolts, IMO i wouldnt put a guard on it. looks for other alternatives

 

Sorry... wasnt clear enough... i gotta get those bolts out. The brushguard came with all new bolts

 

ever heard of metwrench, great tools. i have the big set if a bolt strips these will work the best

 

try heating it up and put pb blaster on it works miracles

 

A whole lotta leverage and a few prayers that you don't snap off the head of the bolt.

 

Thx for the help... HAHAHAHAHA

 

That's experience talking right there. Seriously though, some liquid wrench (any penetrating oil), a breaker bar, and brace your feet against the front tires. Don't forget the chiropractor appointment!

 

i ran into the same problem with my brushgaurd.... i had to use alot of PB blast and a impact wrench wouldnt touch it... so i asked the dad for help and we took a regular socket wrench and put a peich of 2 ft metal pipe over it for more leverage and the broke loose.

 

thx for the ideas everyone... gonna get it on a lift at work soon and fix my oil leek at the same time

 

I had a problem with my front dif drain. Get a hammer and give it a good wack!

 

I had a tough time getting those bolts out and mine wernt rusted. I was lucky enough to have the guys at the exaust shop to loosen mine up when i get a Flowmaster put on. The right tools will get the job done im sure. I just didnt have them.

 

Um, new truck?

 

HAHAHA ur paying

Ill take urs
