So I am in the process of replacing the transmission, but I can not seem to break free the rear driveline from the pinion or the transfer case, there is no park, drive, etc, I have hit the bolts with impact and a short 12mm 12 point socket and nothing, I have rear end on the ground, do I need to raise 1 rear tire and maybe brace ratchet on the bolt and turn the wheel, or is there some trick to get those 4 -12 point bolts out. I've sprayed with PB and let sit overnight, I'm really gunshy here because I don't want to strip those heads or worse twist them off. I'm not a mechanic so any help or advice from more experienced is really appreciated. TIA!!!!
