I think you mean the drive shaft flange mount bolts ?

I just use a "breaker bar" with a wrench on the other side .. they are really tight

Yeah we had a 2 foot bar on one side and a breaker bar on the other....no budge at all! We even heated on side of the bolt....still no budge.

Should i take it to the dealer and have them break them loose for me?
Any other sugestions?
thanks

You gotta be kidding, that kind of force should just shear the bolts.
And normally you can only fit an open end wrench on there.
Are you sure you're talking about the flange bolts??

That kind of force sounds more like U-bolt nuts.... You can shear a U-joint flange bolt with hand force.

There's a couple of simple old school tricks to do that.
Here's one:

find a solid rod the same diameter as the hole (IIRC a 3/8" socket extension will work) and start shoving in wet pieces of paper towel. keep packing them in with the rod and it will gradually force the bearing out.
