Not using a light is what you're doing wrong lol. At least have someone hold a flashlight. I just installed a body lift on my jeep and two of the bolts I needed to crank at with a breaker bar to loosen, they have thread lock on them. My torque wrench yanked out the rest. If it's all the way unscrewed and won't come out, use a pry bar to pry it out, they have clips on them.

Thanks All! It didn't quite take a pry bar, just an enthusiastic tug to get it free. As soon as I knew how to dance with it, the rest came out and went back in as expected.

Also - I think this is the first time WOL has chimed in on one of my posts, so I feel like I am really in the club now Thanks!
