How is this thing attached to the floorboard? I've used a can of PB Blaster and a cheater bar on my breaker bar and I still can barely get this thing to budge.

Get some Kroil , PB Blaster is a waste of money.How is this thing attached to the floorboard? I've used a can of PB Blaster and a cheater bar on my breaker bar and I still can barely get this thing to budge.

I am assuming it is an M1008/M1028. Use the torch and carefully heat the welded cage nut under the cab above the fuel tank. Easy enough to get to. Using a cordless or pneumatic impact with a 13/16" impact socket give it a shot. it should come right off/out. Make sure to heat it really good. A propane torch works but takes longer. An oxygen / acetylene works better and quicker. Do NOT break it off. I f it does not come loose in a few seconds reheat and try again. If you do the oxy/ace torch get it red hot and spray it with the water hose. Works like magic. I removed the manifold stud nut that holds the dip stick tube in. Took about 5 minutes. Heat and cool method worked excellent. Good Luck. Be Safe.This.Sometimes it takes a day or so for the penetrating stuff to do its thing.
