My parts car really doesn't want to be recycled it seems. Already broken one socket on it.

But the issue that has me stumped is the clutch slave bolts are frozen. Since it is threaded into the aluminum bellhousing I'm feeling apprehensive about just applying bigger levers. The heads are wanting to round as it is.

Any suggestions on removing without killing the bellhousing? PB Blaster isn't likely to penetrate to the threads in this instance.

I've only tried sockets with a breaker bar. I don't have an impact driver but I'm about ready to buy one if they really do make a difference with frozen bolts.

There are many more to come I'm sure...

I may end up cutting the hydraulic line and dealing with it out of the car. Doubt the lines are worth saving after sitting for ten years anyhow.

Thanks all,

-Mario E.
