I have cracked center manifold on my 7060. Tried today to get the bolts out with a socket and flex-handle. Very tight to the point of afraid of breaking them. Any tips on how to get these things loose? Thought about using a heavy air impact wrench but it's at the other farm and I didn't have much time today. Thank you for any help.

Soak with favorite pentrant.Get a large drift/punch of some kind,set against the head and give it a good whack with a 3-4lb hammer.Your probably stuck at the bolt to manifold joint as much as anything. They only torque around 65ft/lb.

A regular ratchet would not apply enough torque so I've used a breaker bar to get mine loose.. A loud pop type sound would come out when their already loose..
