Default suggestions for removing lower tie bar

Hey all,

For whatever reason these 6 bolts on the lower tie bar just will not come off even after many hours of liquid wrench and all my muscle. Anyone know any secrets.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks,
Ryan

i had a similar prob with my oil drain plug. Whoever did it before i bought the car was like he-man or something. Not even our body builder friend could get it off. We ended up going to a place with a lift and used a four foot bar.
