lower front fork bolt stuck
 

trying to take out my front suspension and i went to take off the lower front fork bolt (the one with the nut on the other end) and it wont move at all once the nut is removed. I tried to hit on it with a hammer but it doesn't move at all. The other side was able to move and such but i even tried to use a breaker bar to try to get it out and still wont budge. Any ideas on how to get the damn thing out

maybe some rust penetrant? let it soak in for a good while

tried that also didnt help at all. I just dont understand why it seems to be bound up when the other side came right out.

could it be a bad bushing right there is holding it in. It looks as if the rubber or whatever is moving with it like its bound up on the bushing. I have taken it out before and never had this much trouble i just cant seem to figure out what is holding on to it

The bushing inner sleeve binding to these bolts on older cars is very common. For remedies, see http://honda.lioness.googlepages.com...ion#seizdbolts

Heat it up good and hot then spray some PB blaster on it. It has worked like a champ for me every time
