And spray them every few hours for a couple of days before hand with penetrating oil. Also make sure you have a proper fitting spanner, ring spanners with "star" pattern heads with turn the edges off the nut.

I wouldn't go anywhere near there with a naked flame, it's mighty close to the fuel tank.

I read in a recent back to back magazine test that 'plusgas' is the most effective penetrating fluid. Mind you it didn't do much good trying to get off my pitman arm :ohmy:

Just get some heat on it, just be careful. I did mine that way with a small blow torch well Steve did. It will come straight off mate. The bolt is facing the opposite way to the fuel tank
At least if it does set on fire you know you have a fuel leak lol :silly: :silly:
