Anyone got any tips or tricks on removing rear coils on a 67 SWB? I can't seem to break the bolts loose the hold the sprng retainers. Tried WD40 and a 1/2 inch impact wrench on the lower ones and can only make one of the retainers spin. I can't seem to get enough levarage on the end wrench to keep the retainer from spinning. I may try warming things up with a butane torch and using our shops 3/4 impact. Any tips on getting to the upper bolts? Thanks in advance for any replies.
