55 rear cab supports

I am trying to remove the rear cab supports. I have the bolts out of the bottom mounts on the frame, but the bolts on the cab where the other end of the support bolt goes through seems to be froze. Is it just that or is there a trick to getting those bolts out?

On my 55' when i removed them they were as well stuck. I used PB blaster on them and finally got the nut off the bolt but had to keep sprying the bolt till i could finally get it to free up... took me a little while but i got them out..

Thanks, that was what I was afraid of. I will let them soak while I work on something else.

and u can put a good box end wrench on from the inside usually, with a block of wood and then use your impact gun and/or breaker bar. PB might be needed to slicken it up once it breaks loose.

Or, if the bed is out of the way, you can use two breaker bars.. and a cheater pipe for that "little" extra leverage..
