[QUOTE="P.Blunt, post: 1422101, member: 21855"] Soak them with PB Blaster a couple of times a day for a few days while its just chillin in the bed of your truck. You could also apply a little heat to the area on the manifold surrounding the nut/stud either before or after you soak them to expand the metal and draw the PB into the threads hopefully.Then make sure you use a 6 point socket with your breaker bar. I usually start by putting just a moderate bit of force on it first to see if it gives. Then reset yourself; put moderate torque on it again and then once there then ease it up to your near maximum. I am by no means a master mechanic but thats how id do it. If it doesnt break. loose after that then id probably take it somewhere. [/QUOTE]
