Another vote for a [1/2"] breaker bar.

Good luck.

lol if you need help on how to remove nuts what are you taking an engine out for. lol. Just soke it overnight with wd-40 and take them off in the morning with 1/2 breaker bar. if that doesn't work try heating it up with a torch for a few seconds at a time.

Doug, if you still have a mech fan you removed it and the shroud already, right?

if you have a floor jack take the handle out of it and it will give you a 3ft cheater bar on your 1/2 breaker bar and if that doesn't break the bolt loose........ not much else will.

remember to use a good quality socket on this being as you are putting a pantload worth of power into this.....I have a nice sized scar in the top of my hand from when my cheap socket exploded under the pressure
