How do you tighten / remove the radiator supports on the Savvy body lift?

Does anyone know how to tighten/remove the radiator supports on the Savvy 1.25 BL? I know that you have to take the headlight out to access the top bolt, but how do you grip it? I've tried pliers, wrenches, a vice grip, using a pry bar to try to hold it in place, all in vain. Or should I just cut them off and replace them with the extended JKS snubbers?

Why do you want to replace them? The jks ones typically have the feedback of being too stiff. I run the savvy ones with no issues. Possibly a belt wrench mat work to get them off/keep them from spinning.

😄 I'm like wtf you guys replying to me for. Yes I did all these things. I currently don't have a problem with my body lift and was trying to help this dude who is obviously trying to remove this body lift for some reason.

I doubt putting anti seize on it will help him now...

Cool, I'll avoid the JKS ones then. Yeah, the Savvy ones are good, I was just trying to remove it because it was loose, and the rubber bushing thing was bad on the inside.

This is what I ended up doing, it worked.

I remember holding the puck in my hand using socket with extensions to tighten the bolt. Getting it tight was not a problem

Same here. That's all I had to do on mine.

I think I did this when I initially installed it, but it kind of rusted on there, I think.
