I have an 06' GX and bought the Ironman 4x4 2" lift with nitrogas shocks and JBA UCA. I'm trying to get the stock struts out, but the 17mm bolts are stuck on both sides and I can't pry them loose. This is all after I mangled the electric pieces up top too, but figure I won't need them anymore. Any advice on how to get these bolts off? My workspace has no electrical outlets so I'm tempted to just buy a cordless reciprocating saw and hack the damn bolts off...
 
I considered using a torch but there's some brake lines next to it that I don't wan't to screw with. I tried getting my breaker bar on but there's not enough headroom. I bought an oscillating saw, just going to cut the thing off once it arrives.
