Default Need help installing GT Spec front lower tie brace

What's up Mid-A. I have the front and rear lower tie braces. Yesterday I installed the rear brace with no problem. However, when it came to installing the front brace I could not get the nuts loose to install it. Had an impact gun along with a breaker bar and helper pipe. Still couldn't break it...ugh. If anyone can help me install I would compensate you either with $$ or beer and food. Thanks...

Soak them (with WD-40 or pb) and let them sit for a few mins. then soak them again and give it a try.

Thanks driven1, but I tried that also. I may just soak it for a couple of days like mentioned earlier.

I had trouble with some bolts when I put my springs on. I actually had to use a little heat to get em off.

try to heat it up with a torch, it should burn up all the rust so than its easier to remove.

i was gonna try to install this too. But how do take these nuts and bolts off, I can't fit any sockets to that nut back there, or are u just blasting at the bolt from the front.

And do I have to take this bar off for every oil change? That'd suck.
