Regarding locking pliers (vise grip)... I've had success with this Vise Grip (TM) Locking Wrench. It is available in two sizes.

I think CN90 was the first to suggest this version.

Since we're not talking about a Volvo, you might want to try something like this if you have any room in there. They sell all of these pieces at your local Autozone.
