Do you have an air (or electric now too) impact driver? Those are good
for loosening up bolts and nuts like that.

My 84 300D with 284,000 mile has been pitching and rolling quite a
bit lately and in the wind it felt like it was steering itself.
Someone on the list mentioned rear mounts and bushings and well as new
shocks may help with this. Thanks to Rusty new shocks were on sale
this month. http://www.buymbparts.biz/. I ordered the heavy duty
option and wow, what a difference, well worth the investment. The
previous owner had put Gabriels on the rear and there were Bilsteins
on the front. Subframe mounts and bushings are next. Hopefully this
will help reduce the swaying somewhat.
I replaced the shocks myself and snapped off one of the bottom rear
shock bolts. (What a bonehead). My first was mistake was using 1/2
in drive tools instead of 3/8. Second mistake was not using a little
heat on the bolts. The last 3 came came off very easily after warming
them up bit with MAPS gas. I plan on having my local Indie put new
rear sub frame mounts and bushings in this week.
