Coil spacer bolt ???

[BadBoy]

Ok the bolt's on my 1992 2wheel drive Explorer are not long enough.So i got some that are 3/4''by 10''long my question is how do i get the old bolt out i tryed my 1/2'' inpact wrench rated at 250ft lbs and it dose not move it at all so how are everyone else getting theres out.
Also the tab on the spacer which way should it face.

Thanks

Check with member Hank...He put them on his 2x, had to get extenders for the bolts.

Mine were short as well . I machined a nut down so half went inside the spacer to grip threads and half held it down ,top of nut and stud were flush when tight. Seems very sturdy ,its been a year so far so good.

All right i got both bolts free.
When i install the new ones how much should i tighten them to.Also might change the raduis arm bushing's also how tight should those be.
