I'm trying to remove the starter from my VW jetta, The upper and lower bolt are being stubborn and will not budge. Do you have any advice on how I can get these bolts out? Ive sprayed them with wd-40 a few times and that did nothing.

Do you mean you can't turn them? If so, have you tried using a pipe to extend the ratchet and get more leverage?
