can't get bloody ring gear bolts out - ideas? (1 Viewer)

[smdennis]

I'm trying to install an ARB locker, and in the process need to get the ring gear off the old carrier. Two of the bolts came out, but the other ones refuse. No amount of cursing or liquid wrench has worked so far. Has anyone had this problem, and if so, any ideas?

Impact wrench and heat. The bolts may have some kind of thread lock on them.

5 foot cheater bar if no impact gun.
