use some liquid wrench
use a breaker bar

it will come off
gotta use more muscle

ive put those on at least (maybe more) 7 cars. i've done it A LOT
just takes some more msucle

use a breaker bar

toso and i were able to do a customer's car in about 20 mins haha
did too many.

(toso did the first group buy on those things for 240sx back in the day)

Or read my review of the whitelines in the review section.

Real easy install. Those nuts can't be that stuck on an S14.

Anyone (dousan) know what the nuts should be torqued to when you put them back on?

Same as stock. ~50 lb-ft IIRC. I'll look it up later if noone replies with the real answer.
