Im new & HELP! Lower control arm / trailing arm bushing stuck!
Long story short here's my 95 prelude si.
-JDM F22B engine less than 50k miles.
-Greddy headers and full exhaust
-koni yellow shocks and aem coil overs
-k&n intake
-injectors plugs
-etc.

So anyways not the previous owner but the one before him snapped the rear passenger side trailing arm where it bolts to the control arm that runs out to the wheel he also snapped the head off the bolt. he attempted to half *** weld them both too (dumbass) and it held until the other day. Luckily I wasn't cornering hard or something and no one got hurt from it! but as you can see in the picture below I started drilling the bolt out but that bushing will barely budge any idea on how to remove this bitch?

If you have any screw removers try that.
If not, try using a c-clamp, a pin and a socket. Put a pin the same size of that hole in it and clamp down with the c-clamp and socket on the opposite end, it might push the bolt out.
If that doesn't work, keep drilling it out, stepping up sizes till you're close to the id of the bushing then you can peel whats left of the bolt out.
And if that doesn't work, torch the bushing out and install a new one.
