    I was hoping I didn't have to resort to an impact to save the money. 1/2" drive is next .

    Mapp gas HEAT. If you want to break a bolt off going up to 1/2" drive is the way. unsolicited opinion stated. :anonymous: I wish you the best though ;)

    I recently changed out the rubber bushing on the right side of the steering rack. The impact had no effect. The 1/2" bar had no effect so I added a 3 foot extension to the bar and even then it only budged when I put all of my body weight (230lbs) on it. After a couple of 1 inch movements it was finally loose enough for the impact to finish the job. Whatever the factory uses to tighten these bolts/nuts it ain't a torque wrench no matter what their specs say. Get yourself a 3 foot piece of pipe to slide onto the end of the bar for more leverage.
