use a breaker bar

or if u dont have one, make sure the car is jacked up real high, put ur wrench on the bolt, and get a medium tick piece of pipe thats at least a foot long, put it over the wrench handle and use the extra length for leverage.

And assuming youi get it off without stripping anything, be sure to use a washer when you put it back and DON"T over torque it.

If you don't have one just use a tube like someone said

Hahaha, how easily he forgot about the stuck bolt.


Ah ah oh ya, the bolt. Get a hammer and hit the end of the ratchet. if you can't fit a pipe or something under the car.

And for the love of good please be sure you're doing... righty tighty, lefty loosy.
