Hi all,
Anyone have some really great way of getting a front control arm bolt out of the arm/bushing other than torching it off? I don't have access to a torch (another reason to get one) and am running out of ideas. Air chisel, hammering and map gas are no help. I even have thought about using air cut-off tool and remove anything that's not a control arm.:bang head But I can only image how long that would take. I do have the nut off and the rear bolt is out. The bolt is just rusted in the sleeve of the bushing.
I grabbed a pair of arms from a salvage yard yesterday and the bolts slid right out. I bet It didn't take more than a half hour to get both control arms. Any ideas?
