Default I need help on my s2k( replacing lower control arms)

Ok I have been trying to replace the lower control arms.

Here is the diagram



I have took out all the bolts, but I got stuck with #25 and #13.

I was told to burn off the bushing that covers the #13 since it was torn and to free the collar(#13) from the arm, so the arm is free, but I can't still get that #13 out.

I even got some progress pics here.

#13




#25 I tried to knock this out with the hammer, but no luck.



I don't get much help on s2ki.com forum, can anybody give me some suggestions here?

Ughhh...alignment bolt sux the big fat one. You'll need an impact wrench and need to spin it tight and loose in success from the wobble side (the oval side of the bolt) after you take the nut off the other end. It also helps to load the suspension once you take the nut off.

Keep at it. If it doesn't spin after some time, take a large mallet and give it a few good pounds from the non-wobble side. Then back to impact gunning it off.

If all else fails, drop the rear subframe assembly so that you can get a better angle on those bolts. I've had to do this for a couple of local owners' cars I worked on in the past. They had just gotten so seized, there was no other option.

Hope that helps.
