How much the bolts are to replace in parts terms. Just looking for a price on the bolts themselves, no labor.

Try some rust penetrant and a breaker bar. Hmmm, I think I will try and start an impact wrench movement here on h-t...it doesn't cost that much and is darn worth it.

you'll be spending a lot of money if the heads on the bolts bust off. i learned the hard way... you're either gonna have to get a shop to put in new bushings in the LCAs or get new LCAs all together.

Once you get air tools, you never go back !
My air wrench took off the dreaded crankshaft pully bolt in about .25 seconds once I took the socket extension off.

THe heads broke off of mine. The bushings are like 28 bucks each and the bolts are like 7 I think. You'll need a shop to press them out unless you wanna do it the ghetto way like I did. Get a blow torch, and get it icy hot like some of the stunna around here. Then pound it out with a hammer.

Re: Frozen Control Arm bolts (blacks2000)
Well, the bolt snapped on both mine. One we drilled out. It took 6 hours. The other one, I think i'm just going to give up on salvaging the old control arms and just buy new ones. I got a hook up on drilling them out but they said that it would normally cost like 200 dollars. Thats like the cost of some ssr control arms. Thats crazy.
and you will never have the problem again.
