ye it was a big help, perfect IMO

reason why the bolt wouldnt come off is cuz Buffalo snow is crazy and and the salt here is worse.........come to think of it, i think its snows more SALT then it does actual snow!!!!!

dang you used a 3/8 extension.....my 1/2" Husky broke
good thing Husky has a life time warranty on their tools

Thanks for that advice. I tried several times with a strap wrench and I was unable to break the bolt loose until I read the 5th gear trick

- Sprayed PB Blaster on it the night before.
- Placed the car in 5th gear.
- Wedged the 2 feet long jack handle between the brake pedal and the bottom of the seat (steel part of the seat) which placed pressure on the brake pedal.
- Placed a strap wrench on the balancer and it wedged itself against the axle.
- Placed a breaker bar on the bolt and it broke loose with my foot.

The strap wrench did not work without the 5th gear trick. I think the combination of wrench and the 5th gear trick did it.

Thanks,
Kevin
