anyone have trouble separating drums/brakes unit from trailing arm???
Awhile ago i messed up my driver side trailing arm sliding into a curb so now im stuck trying to replace it.
The problem is that the bolts holding the hub assembly to the trailing are torque screws that strip like no other and the bolts fastening the lower,upper, and compensator arms wont budge, i assume the bushings play a big role in this. I need Help!!. i bought the new trailing arm from sohfast hoping to get the complete thing except it was JUST the bare trailing arm itself therefore everything needs to be swapped over. Any kind of help is appreciated to get my ek on the road again.

The screws were tough as heck but i got em out!!! after long hours of torching and drilling, the craftsmans screw out worked amazing. Well on with fixing my car.
