Ok well the driver side rear LCA came off like butta'
Then i got to the passanger side

The bolt the holds the LCA to the frame is seized, the pin that sits in the bushing is seized to the side of the frame. I have no idea what to do... any help would be appreciated . thank you

 

Blowtorch time!!!

 

try to see if their is any part of the bolt that you can get a hold on with a visegrip and try to screw it out, if not try to get your hands on a heavy duty drill and try and drill it out. or as stated above toch time.

 

oh forgot to mention i tried heating and no workie

 

PB blaster it until it drowns.

 

oh beleive me its Soaked in PB

PB isnt going to unattatch two peices of metal ....errr its like there welded to each other

 

You haven't stripped the head have you?

Hmm... time for an air chisel.

 

nope thats why im reluctant to hack the bolt on both sides of the lca then dril out both sides.

but right now thats my only idea

no air chisel in my tool box

 

Impact wrench will get out that bolt. If it is stripped than get Craftsman Impact Bolt out and that will get it off.

 

ok let me clarify, the bolt is turning and wants to come out but since its stuck to the side the whole 'U" bracket bends and im afraid of breaking it,

 

And this is what happens then i try to take the bolt out, the sides bend

picture for help.

 

When the bolt freezes to the inner bushing sleeve you have to drill it out.

 

the bolt isnt seized in anything. just the sleve and the side wall of the frame
bolt turns freely

 

The bushing sleeve is stuck to the frame?

 

yep,

 

saw both sides of the bolt then turn out the bolt when the lca is dropped...

 

and drill the side with the head on it?

 

IMPACT IT OFF...You can fix the broken or bent peice later

 

i would think, once you have sawed the bolt on both sides, the head should come right off using a rachet since its not being held in...and on the other side use some vice grips and turn it bit by bit...

drill will take too long and such...but then again i never had to do this and im taking a logical approach to this...
