I used a 2nd wrench for leverage. I had almost 2 feet of leverage.

I couldnt get mine even with 2 wrenches. I got a small craftsman impact gun with a 18mm flexhead socket on it and hammered away. After about ten minutes (litteraly) she broke loose. Cake walk from there.

I would advise you to do it.....I was getting 1093's even with the Edge on level 3. All trucks vary! ;)

I used a pipe 2 ft long pipe, 2 wrenchs and 250lbs pulling on it with no luck! Anyone else have any brilliant ideas on how to get the bastard out?

It was tightened by the Hand of God himself. Odd that UAW didn't file a grievance for GM hiring non-union help...

Certain impact wrenches (short) will fit in, and a Snap-On brand 18mm wrench has been successful. I stripped the hex off one, so be careful. That is why I do not do it on other people's trucks.
