its the strut fork bolt. anyone know away to get the bolt out and keep the bushing in tact? btw im changing my wheel bearings

 

Heat the bolt up with a torch and hope that the rubber doesn't melt. You may end up having to replace it regardless.

Why do you need to remove the shock fork bolt to change a wheel bearing? You can remove the knuckle without touching it.

 

i questioned it but wasnt sure, thats good to know.

 

Leaving the shock bolted to the LCA helps you to break the lower ball joint loose more easily (I'm assuming you're working on the front here).

 

already done, i always over think things lol
