Well were trying to get the lower control arm off the driver side rear and the bushing that the bolt goes through that holds the control arm to the hub has siezed to the bolt. How the hell do I get this out?

 

Try heating it up, or use a **** ton of wd40 (pb blast works good to), put the nut back on the bolt and try knocking that sucka out.

 

start pounding and heating stuff up. Not fun usually.

 

Yeah well we tried beating it out...no luck. Dont have a torch, so next option is sawzaw the bitch out.

 

And just so I'm sure I got this right, you took the nut off the bolt holding in the control arm and the bolt just wont come out of the lca? Have you tried raising and lowering the lca with a jack or something? I'm assuming there is no weight on the lca but the last time I removed mine the car was on jack stand and all the weight was off the lca but I had to kinda pull them down to relieve pressure from the spring off the bolt.

 

Its the bolt that holds the LCA into the hub.

so the bolt and the inner sleeve of the bushings are just spinning, right?

yeah, youre screwed. because theres nothing that will separate the bolt from the sleeve now.

you just gotta saw thru the inner portion of the bushing and bolt to separate it. then replace the bushing and bolt.

 

Well the skunk 2 arms came with new bushings so its not like i'm totally screwed. Just gonna be a bitch cutting the damn sleeve out. Were gonna start on it first thing in the morning.
