Re: nuts on rear sway bar 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Jack W. on  Tue Jul 31 16:51 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Soak the nuts for a day with Liquid wrench (not WD 40) Others suggest PB

blaster...(I've never used it)Soak the nuts and PUSH AND PULL the wrench TO LOOSEN AND TIGHTEN...THE OBJECT IS TO WORK THE PENETRATING INTO THE DRY THREADS UNDER THE NUT.

Anyways...If all you have is 3/8" put a Box end wrench over the emd of the 3/8" wratchet,(the bigger the better) and use it as a leverage tool to loosen the nuts (similar to using a piece of pipe for leverage) I like this method because you can select from diff size box end wrenches depending on how much room you have for leverage tools. This was taught to me by a retired Chevy mechanic who lived across the street from me many years ago. It's gotten me out of a jam many times.

Good luck,

Jack W.
