Hey guys. I was installing a camber kit on a 99 Civic that began life in NJ. I wasn't aware that suspension bolts would rust to the suspension parts on northern cars. Well long story short, the head of the bolt that secures the upper arm to the trailing arm snapped off; 1 trip to Sears, 2 trips to Home Depot, and a wasted Sunday later resulted in a mangled screw that will never leave the rear trailing arm.

However, I have rear discs (and trailing arms) that I can throw on the car. I already found at least one more rusted bolt when trying to remove the trailing arm. Is their any way I can prepare them to be removed, or am I screwed? Any chemicals I can soak them in, any technique that I can use to remove rusted bolts? I tried drilling a hole, and using a screw extractor. The screw extractor snapped off in the screw...

This is very important as I have to have this done by Friday. Please share any tips that you may have.

Thanks.

 

PB Blaster, a torch and a breaker bar or impact gun.

 

I foresee the breaker bar/impact wrench method resulting in more decapitated bolts...
