Use a torch and let some penetrating oil soak in. And use a breaker bar.

Put a larger box end wrench over your other wrench it will give you more leverage but be careful or you'll have some bloody knuckles

All in a day's work bro. What better way to spend Christmas than to be pi$$ed off at someone else's car for a few hours--lulz!

Make sure you get those hoses for the evap, reinstall all the undercar supports, make a video for us all to see/hear, and hit me up if/when you wanna tuck that bumper!

Just get a steel pipe that fits over your wrenches. Mine is an "L" shape, about 3 feet long, and it works great.

I just took off my exhaust a few weeks ago and just use like the end of the jack thats what I do when I need more leverage. It works fine. Or put the wrench on and use your foot to push. Theres different ways lol.
