this car hasnt been driven since last summer...its fully stripped and the owners before me decided to neglect it...ahhh you live and you learn....gonna try to finish it up in 3 weeks if i can get this damn bolt out...finish suspension, finish welding and drop the motor in, put back interior, doors, hatch and windshelid and paint...this is gonna be a long 3 weeks......

What happens is the bolt and the bushing sleave rust together, pretty much just keep doing what you are doing, heat and get a impact. or get a saws all in there, either way that bushing is fked. good luck.

oh yea i forgot to mention im using an impact wrench on 150psi and is rated to 450 ft-lbs if that matters is that enough??... ill continue trying...i mean its not like i have a choice also whats my option with the sawz-all cause im really considering using that right now but i dont quite understand how i would go about with that one.....cause with my lower control arms and struts i did the same thing and just sliced right trough the bushing....

are you trying to replace the arm? if you cut the arm out with a saw the bolt is still gonna be stuck in the frame, which will be a greater bitch to remove.

just turn the arm so that when you loosen the bolt, it has something to apply opposite force. lots of pb blaster helps too. take the impact and run on it for a good minute, it should break the rust free.

ok now i need some help with the brake hose the rubber line how do you disconnect from the bracket(where it meets the metal line coming from the body) and also how do you remove the ebrake cable from the hub???

Removing the ebrak cable from the hub





Anyone can help that would be great..thanks

anyone??? ^^^^

on the ebrake... you have to squeez the tabs and it will pull threw the hub.
on the brake like there should be a clip, once you get that off it should slide right out. a hammer and screw driver usually will do it.

thank you very much worked perfect....
