Ve diff bolts stuck

[greenacc]

Mine was rather tight but came out no problem with a decent socket and breaker bar. I remember I had to use a long extension on the socket for one of the plugs so I had room to swing the breaker bar out near the driver side rear wheel, which was a bit random for a diff plug I thought but whatever

Longer bit of pipe on the breaker bar and some heat, something will eventually give

Can you take it for a drive to warm it up?

Keeping in mind, its most likely a Right Hand thread.

So I’ve already got a breaker bar, all I need is an impact hex socket kit. Hope it does the trick. Thank you to all for the recommendations

Update: so I drove the car around for a while and used the impact hex socket with breaker bar but it still for some reason does not budge. At this point I’m thinking of using a mini flame torch to heat it up.

It’s just my opinion, but I think that it is time to visit a mechanic or a transmission place and let them deal with it. I’d be hesitant to use a flame as I think things will go rapidly bad and might end up costing more to fix.

Probably best to do what chrisp said and let someone else look at it before you go hitting it with any heat.
How long is your breaker bar out of curiosity?
