I tried everything lol, only problem was holding the steering rod from spinning in the rack. Mole grips were all i could think of but they dont equal out to a breaker bar.

Tried both now lol, what a nightmare!
Are you sure they are normal hand thread? Not reverse or anything lol!
If i cant get them off soon, i will have to try and grind them off enough to get a air gun on them!

get an angle grinder and grind down the length where the track rod is inside just till it touches the threads then it should undo
