Thanks. I wish i had a big compressor and impact wrench, but i don't
I also like pedro's idea. But i am periodically applying magic fluid (PB blaster) and whack-ing it. I called a bud who is a retired machinist, and he will help Saturday if needed. He also told me (i dont quite get this BTW) that if i apply a ball-peen to the allen it will close it a bit.

I will also need to raise the car a bit more ( a third row of pressure treated, so a two-man job) to get better access and leverage.

11 fairly easy and one that i suspect was already damaged in some way. I too, wonder how, since I put them in at ~ 50 lb-ft (estimated, cant get an accurate reading). So either a) they tighten themselves or b) something's wrong or c) someone did something i was unaware of.

Thee are times when we learn. Keep saying that.

Thanks to all,
