Can't believe you are recommending using vice grips LukeAe71! Each to their own I guess :D

DeWalt cordless impact driver for the win :blush:

I have one at work, use it on everything. Such a handy tool, bit pricey (I think it was just under $400) but well worth the investment.

when you put your bolts back in go to the trouble of going and buying some anti seize we use it on our v8 supercar its the best stuff in the world makes life so much easyer you crack it then wind it off with your fingers

another tip is to turn the nut side, not the bolt side.

 

The bolt has all the added friction of the joint on it's length, the nut doesn't.

 

and vice versa for accurate tensioning of joints too.
