how do I loosen bolts for TDS wonderbar?
I just got the wonderbar steering brace from Top Down Solutions and when I went to install it I coundn't get the freakin bolts loose to bolt the thing in. Can anyone give me some tips on how to loosen those bolts.

If you can find it, KROIL is about the best to use. I prefer the aerosol can (aka AEROKROIL). Spray the bolts from above as well as below. Let it sit overnight, then spray again. An air operated impact wrench works great. If you don't have one, then get a manual impact driver. The shock of hitting the end of the impact driver with a hammer will help to free up the bolt. Don't just use a cheater bar. You'll have a much better chance of snapping it off if you go that route.
Good luck,
