If they are crossed thread, aren't they stripped then?

If they simply aren't moving, get a 2' breaker bar and spray the bolts good with PB Blaster and let is soak awhile. Maybe that will get them out. You could also add more leverage with a long pipe put onto the breaker bar.

I'm with Bones on this one, once you get them out then you can put a helicoil in place,,,,bing bang boom.

the impact wrench should take car of them set it on the highest torque setting and let it rip if that doesnt do it than i guess try a breaker bar but if the impact doesnt get it it might take a breaker bar larger than 2'

we have a 6' pole we use (maybe a lil overkill but it works with ease most of the time). we have a thick gray pvc type one and a metal one like used for a fence.
