Hello Formites

I have a sticky problem with my hilux, the nuts connecting outer drive shaft to front diff. The rubber boots have split and so I need to remove drive shaft.....6 nuts/bolts, retainer clip and out comes the drive shaft. BUT, attemps to undo these bolts have failed. I have undone only 2 ( 6 each side) using pipe over socket handle (extreme force applied) but failed to make any movement on the other 4. I have borrowed a compressor and rattle gun also, still no success. :( Any tips for tight nuts or can I replace the rubbers by removing disc etc and dismantling drive shaft??????:)

Thanks in advance for any replies
