Thanks to all of you for the great advice.

Ram - I have one of those. Did not budge the nuts. Actually bent the wrench,
even after liberal use of penetrating oil. And yes, I am aware of the
left-handed threads on some of the studs. I took the truck to the tech
school that I used to work at, and they unbudged the nuts for me and put
anti-seize on. I did not see the tool they used.

Later -

Mark
