Front strut bolt
a certain bolt is tight and requires a large amount of energy to loosen it. The torque(T) done by a constant force(F) over a distance(r) can be described as T=r x F
In this case, force is limited by your own body, and with your current wrench length(r), the resulting torque is not enough to break loose the bolt. You have to increase force and/or distance(r) somehow. Seeing as how going to the gym and working out to increase force might be take a couple months to have a noticeable effect, let's try increasing the distance. In order to do this, put a cheater pipe over your ratchet. You have now effectively increased the resulting torque with the same amount of force. Increase pipe length until the resulting torque reaches the threshold of loosening the bolt

Tried adding a breaker, but it felt as though if we kept doing that it would break. Actually, one of our craftsmans broke(lifetime Warrenty). As of now, I think that it is rusted in the middle. So we're going to take this to one of my friends friend garage.
