Were talking about a GT here right? The left side? You gotta tell me driver side or passenger and I also need to know top or bottom nut.

A long extension.....PB buster a lot of it.........and a swival socket

All I had was 2, 6 inch extensions and a 3 inch extension. Theres only one way to really get to those bolts just need to position yourself just right

you need to spray them with pb blaster, wd40 etc.. and let it soak over night that will loosen them up. otherwise its hard as hell to get them off.

Even doing that I still ended up going to a shop to loosen them....my car had the nut from hell

Swivel + extensions. Just turn it till you blow your nuts out, it'll come loose.

They're easiest to do on a lift with a 12" 1/2" drive extension a swivel socket and a 1/2" breaker bar or use air tools.

Mine wasn't that hard but it took a good 80+lbs of force to knock it loose. Another trick is to tighten it just a tad and then it'll spin off easier. Risk in that is breaking the stud off at the header and having to pull the header like Greg.
