Body Mount Bolt Removal

[wfotyme]

I'm in the process of replacing the body mounts on my 74 K5..I've read all the threads..Gained alot of input (thanks) and heard alot of war stories. I just want to know if using an Impact Gun is the best way or if using a breaker bar is the way to go..I've been spraying PB Lube every night for the last week. I'm tring everything I can to not rip up my new carpet..I just finished installing my roll cage and interior..I never thought about the threads breaking loose until I read other peoples war stories.Now I know..So, IMPACT GUN or BREAKER BAR....

I just put a 1"ORD body lift and poly bushings on my 84 K5 and 3 out of the 10 mounts gave me hell. Used an impact to take mine out and the other 3 just a lot of patience . Good luck....but the K5 will drive so much better when you are done

I used a inpact on my body bolts. I have a 73 k-5, I soaked them with some PB max and about 5 min. later took the inpact and they all came right out. Good luck with everything.

If the truck came from a rust area... good luck. They will probably break no matter what you do. Or you might get lucky. I just went with an impact.

The Blazer I used for my build was a Georgia body and frame. Body bolts were a breeze to get off.
