i have to remove / replace my struts soon and last time i didnt have very good luck.. like every other lca bolt was siezed into the bushing and or broke

soaking them with pb and using my impact didnt help much. turns a 3 hour job into an all night crapfest

Had the exact same problem. I broke 3 of mine. Had to drill them out and replace te bolts from Honda.

GL man.

Still looking for tips myself.

there are no tips.
its like asking for chemotherapy tips.

rust is rust, if you want a tip buy new lca's and treat them with anti seize, and also keep them well lubricated throughout their lifetime so it won't happen again.

goodluck

If theyre siezed, buy a cheap grinder, good size punch and 5lb sledge - be ready to to cut the nut off the shocks and pound the bolt through the bushing.
Thats probably the best tip you will get.

Replace w/ new hardware and slather the hell out of it w/ antiseize
