If you are talking about in the steering shaft where you put the spacer in. If so I could not get the bolts off with the nut at the bottem. I just took the upper nuts off. The with the lift it pulled rite apart.My spacer only had to bolts to replace two of the stock bolts stayed unmoved.

Seriously, if you have already lifted it with that steering extension tight the whole time it might be in such tension it ain't coming off. I loosened mine before I ever started lifting.

if you can get a brass bar in there and tap the bolt head a couple times with a ball pein hammer, not hard like you're trying to mangle it, just a couple good solid taps like you do when the jelly jar lid is stuck on. that may bust her loose without the need for air tools. good luck dude.

try turning your wheel while the ignition is off and the key is out of the tumbler, it should lock after a few degrees.
