Are you still struggling with this? I bought the bolt set from Martin and used a nut extractor on that drivers side one with a big bar, it chewed it a bit but came straight out. Had been dowsing them all for about 10 days with WD.

I installed my lift kit today, and those upper bolts were stuck on really tight on my truck too, but it only took a basic ratchet spanner and some MUSCLE to crack them loose. No spraying WD40, and no special equipment. Just laying on my back under the truck using my two hands, no problem! :laugh:

When I did mine the inner metal sleeves had welded themselves to the bolts so used an anglegrinder to cut the bolt heads off and then spread the socket to get them out, b*stard of a job !!

Put plenty of waterproof or copper grease on the new ones !!
