Ground Control install problem
I just went out today and bought Ground Control Coilovers. I went to my buddies dealership (mazda) and we started putting them in.
Front's went in fine
My problem is with the rear. In order to get the strut out, I must take the bolt with the bushing out of the bottom. Problem. The bolt is rusted to the sleeve that is inside the bushing. I tried all three and 2 of them are seized on the drivers side and 1 is seized on the passengers side. (strut bolt on both)
I figured that I could just drop the control arm out with the strut still attached but I figured it was not a good idea since I would only be able to do one side.
How the heck do I get them loose? I know that the bushings need to be pressed in or the control arm comes with the bushings already installed.
What do I do, will it be expensive.

I had to order new rear arms. The bushings are 35 canadian each and since I should replace all 6, the new arm is only 100 bucks with new bushings.
Just incase anybody wanted to know.
