I started out with a many pointed socket and when that started to slip I changed to a 6 point 14mm I found under a bunch of other sockets I didn't know I had. It looked pretty cheap as well tho. No brand name even on it heh. Then it started to turn on the head... guess I should have started with the 6 point. Live and learn... heh

bp blaster
I use BPblaster spray everytime I work on my suspension and it works like a charm for removing bolts. By the way all you needed was a high grade bolt at the local hardware store, grade 8 - 10 hardened steel. It would've been cheaper than the dealer price for sure. If you gonna do your own mechanic work you might want to invest in some good quality tools, makes a diffirence.

It does not matter if you use a socket once or twice a year! If it's cheap(India, China), it will cost you more time then the cost of a fancy socket set.

Don't use Dayco's drive belt. It has a habit of stretching. Stay with Toyota's belt.

Well, bolts out and belt is on!!!!! Thanks to all here tht helped me. I finally broke down and bought the expensive roundedbolt set from pep boys as pictured. It finallybroke loose after many squirtsof liquid wrench and a long cheater bar. (Thought i had broke the bolt or wrench how loud it snapped when it finally broke.) Thans again everyone for the support and ideas that gave me the courage to tackle what i thought was an insurmountable problem.
Ps there was this white powder in the threads of the bolt. Some gift of thread lock from someone previous?
