I am in the process of redoing the brakes and suspension on my roadster and I have run into a problem. I cannot get the nuts off the botton of the spring perches. The shackles have been removed, so there is nothing in the way. I tried a wrench with a pipe and eventually an impact wrench - it did not even budge! I have tried heat and penetrating oil to no avail. What should I do?
