hey guys, thanks for clicking, when i go to lower my buddies del sol... the screw that goes through the fork like bottom of the strut is rusted together... i tried greese like pb blaster and even used a plumbers torch to try to heat them up... i already snapped the head off of one, and had to drill it out... pain in the ***, im not doing it again.... any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

soak it down with WD-40 or some other lubricant.

let it sit for a while. Cross your fingers and try to remove the bolt.

Don't heat up the bolt itself, it will only make it expand. If you have heated it already, wait til it cools off before attempting removal.

I agree with what Black Light said and if that doesn't work then just drill it out...its not that hard...just annoying.

I drilled mine in the back of the car out.. Just cut it and drill.. -It works...
