acplus I missed your question, certainly wasnt ignoring you.  I got them out using a "modified" box end wrench and a 14 inch cheater bar and lots of turning.  The suspension on the 82s is a bit more crowded than the earlier C3s and with the rear sway bar brackets in the way as well, there isnt room for the use of an impact, believe me, I tried to find a way.  In any case, I got them off and had the battle scars to prove it.
