Put em in a vice and get the impact wrench on them

I'm not using a donor, just buying bits as I go along, and this is how I did mine. If they are still on the car, then box section and the impact wrench.

They provide very short, concentrated bursts of torque, rather than the huge moment of turning a big breaker bar does.

Remember that the Left Hand (passengers) nut has a left hand thread on most models of Sierra

Unfortunaterly tomorrow I will be enjoying the views of the A1 as I travel to Leicester and back so I will not be home until 7 at the earliest and then the boss is going out for the evening so I've got the kids. However I finish work at 12:30 on fri if thats any help. So by my reckoning that makes you a workaholic paul
