I use a 1/2 inch impact.

Have a few spare sockets of that size too, people seems to break one or two getting them loose

Breaker bar and impact socket, or a really good impact.

has to be impact sockets and a breaker bar if you're doing by hand. they tight !!

1/2 inch drive 16" long breaker bar worked for us. Just brace yourself or you'll end up on your azz.

I just grabbed the nut and turned it by hand. But I'm from Canada.

Yep. Broke two regular sockets before I changed to impact socket.

i had a 15" breaker bar. couldn't move them. I am going to try a 3ft cheater bar on it. hopefully they come loose.

I just tell it to come off and it backs itself off. But I'm from Maryland.

They are bolts here, that must be the difference? Lol. Yea yea, I figured I admit the okie and still get chit.

I would have said "grabbed the head" but I know it would be used against me.
