These bolts are fun to drill out 
. Is there anything that we can lube the bolt with so it wont seize to the bushing?

I don't know what PB blaster is but I used a whole alot of rust buster and some wd-40. I snapped it off using a big torque bar and my impact gun wouldn't break it. I still have the other side to do. Will a more expensive impact gun get this bolt off or will it just snap the head off, my impact gun is a cheap pos.

I had to drill the same bolt out like 2 weeks ago. Buy Anti-Seize. It comes in a grey
container with a brush in the lid so you can spred it around.
-
I have a 250lbs tq impact wrench, which wouldn't move it. 500lbs tq would be nice.
Spray a lot of liquid wrench & use the impact gun to vibrate the bolt.
Then use a breaker bar. While trying to loosen the bolt with the bar have someone watch the other side to see if its actually turning. If not, continue spraying until
it does.

I couldn't remove the lca because of the abs line that runs under the strut so I just cut through the god damn shock with a grinding wheel. I'm gonna try a better impact gun on the other side, thanks for the help.

I broke BOTH my rear lca-shock bolts because the rubber bushings seized. When installing the new shocks, I used white lithium grease.

heres a pic of what I did
I couldn't remove the lca because of the abs line that goes under the shock. I don't know anything about my cars abs system, am I better off disconnecting that line or cutting through the shock again on the drivers side?

I bought some "ANTI-SEIZE" from the local parts store, .99 cents. Works great.
