Soak the nuts for as long as possible before you start, then really CLEAN the exposed threads on the u-bolt with a wire brush...makes a big differance. After you get the nuts off, reinstall them till they are flush with the end of the u-bolt to beat the u-bolt loose from the trailing arm, so you won't mess up the threads. Don't even start till you have at least a 3/4 drive breaker bar...1/2 won't cut it...have fun
