I swear to god are the stock bolts welded in? Had the truck on a lift + 2 hours with a sledge hammer + 2 hours with an air hammer + 10 minutes with a sawzall to get them off.

Yay for Cam Bolts after 8 hours of labor... |

If you want the job done right, you need the proper tools. In this case, its a sawzall. |

I got super lucky and they came right off. Make sure you do the tranny bypass as well! Go to www.thenewx.org and search it.
