removing 4 12mm 12point bolts driveshaft???

[pattoncars]

I'm having a hard time removing the 4 12mm 12 point bolts on the driveshaft going to the rearend. We tried by hand and by 150psi from the compressor with no luck? Any ideas??? The car is not on a rack either.

Use a 12pt. box end wrench and a 4lb sledge hammer and smack it a few time and it will break loose, then rotate drive shaft set p-brake and repeat 3 more times.

What's the torque specs for the bolts? Any threadlocker?
