    I picked up hex sockets from O'reillys for this job. They should not be abnormally tight. I didn't have to spray any lubricant, but could you overnight with PB blaster or wd40? The driver's side has one bolt that is closest to the firewall on the bottom that is between the block and the powersteering pump. It will be really difficult to reach.

    I PB'd them.

    Yeah, the pass. side is leaking the most, so I started on the easy side. lol!

    But if I strip them, not sure what will get them out and what a 'local' replacement would be. Derp.
