Track Bar Removal

I just wanna to check to make sure there isnt a trick to removing the stock track bar on an 03 f350. I was rushed the first time i did it and the air gun wouldnt budge it so i figure i just got to get a really long breaker bar. But just in case is there a trick?

Just a big breaker bar, some grunting and a little bit of cursing.

The bolt spec is 300 to 400 ft lbs iirc, so it will be tight.

The upper end bracket bolt and nut is 406 ft-lbs, the lower ball joint end is only 184 ft-lbs.

But's thats listed under RWD 450/550 in the workshop manual. The 4WD 250/350 links to that section, so I assume it's all the same deal, just saving space in the manuals.
