    Thanks. It was a great find with a 4in lift, new rims and 35s mounted

    I slid them bolts up, just had to move fender liner with crowbar and not pinch wireloom to slide it past.

    Better break out the heavy artillery.

    I recently did this using a 5 HP, 5.8 CFM, 20 gallon air compressor and 700 foot pound impact wrench.

    It took awhile but I was also using 125' of 20 year old air hose. 10' cheater bar on a heavy duty breaker bar would be next best.

    I don't see how a cut off disc would help. But i like the way you think

    Well funny story. 14 years of rust really makes for a fun time removing cam bolts

    Oh, I thought we were talking specifically about the LBJ. I had to cut off my UCA through bolt as well as two LCA cam bolts. Same deal.
