Hell, I just pulled mine off last week to do the lsd and what I did was put the 17 or 18mm boxed end wrench on and gradded my 3 or 4 lb hammer, beat the **** out of it. It'll come loose!! If not........get a bigger hammer!! LOL!! I will admit, it was a PITA!!!!

I got mine off with a breaker bar and about 45 minutes worth of letting some sea-foam deep creep sit in there... It took some work and grunting and cussing but they finally gave up the fight ... I won

i thought i could just take mine off the rear and throw some new pads on there.... WRONG.. it took me and my dad to break them freakin bolts loose! But im a pretty small guy (140#). But i had to work the graveyard shift one night. I was goin to work about 11:30 When i heard this aweful noise in the rear. I turn around and head straight to my brothers. I already had rotors and pads and parking break shoes sittin under my back seat. one of the adjusters had fallen out of the seat for the parkin break shoes and it craked the inside drum all up. But in 20 minutes i was back on the road headed to work.. Man that was rough. I had to get a 1/2" breaker bar and bear down on that sucker, my brother didnt have any hammers in his shop. But now with new rotors, pads, shoes in the rear,, burnouts are very hard to do. My front rotors have very small crakes in them, but the pads look like new with 150k miles on them. But i think its goin to be time for some new ones soon.

I hope you got your ordeal sorted out..
