Well the "solution" was rather simple. I went on the premise that a longer
socket wrench would give me more leverage. My current 3/8" drive socket
wrench was only about 10" long. However, finding a longer socket wrench for
a 3/8" drive was a little harder than I expected (for a 1/2" drive, the
options were plentiful). I ended up finding a torque wrench (which heck, I
could probably use anyway) that had the longest arm for a 3/8" socket -
about 18"-19" or so. Saddled that up and heard the same "crack" when the
nut gave loose. So that pesky side is taken care of. $99 for a torque
wrench (5 to 80 ft-lbs, or 110 N*m) that should came in handy going forward.
Oh well. I should have done that long ago in the process and saved my
hands/knuckles and the neighbors' kids' ears from the
profanities.....sometimes I'm just stubborn I guess.
So anyway, frame sliders are now on.....
