Default Installing rear Tokico's ???

Has anyone had a problem of removing that bolt that holds the rear shocks to the control arm? Yea, well my problem was that. The front went down in 20 minutes, perfect as hell. But the rear was a nightmare. One bolt on each side was stock and nothing i could do was helping. Impact gun, breaker bars, leverage bars, NADA.

So tomorrow I am going to work on it again to finish my drop, it looks mean! Pics will be up shortly of the how the drop looks. Rides nice, but we will see how it rides after i finish the rear. Still feels stock

Soak the bolt with some WD-40 and then give it a try

I would definitely say trying to soak it and hopefully it will budge. Otherwise you gonna have to torch off the bushing and get new ones along with new bolts. Good luck.

i had a problem taking out the stock rears in the back of my girls 95 ex. i could do one side but the other side wouldnt budge (the screw on the LCA) so what i did was i cut off the NUT, and it came out. you dont need the nut anymore b/c the strut should have the one that is "built" in/
