Trying to get the bolts out of the upper control arms. Both side frozen in. Not a heck of a lot of space for heavy hammering. Soaked them both good with blaster and got a bigger hammer this AM. Still immovable. Passenger side turns now, driver side very difficult to turn at all. Looks like a bad place for sawzall, but it has possibilities. In the DIY section covering this job the writer had the same problem. He said I had a horrible problem getting one off as the bushing was seized to the bolt, however this is probably one in a thousand cases. On the other side the bolt came out by the push of a finger. I ended up cutting off both sides of the bolt on the bad side, then cutting the bolt out of the upper control arm. I wish I could figure out how he cut the bolt out of the upper control arm.
So, any other suggestions beside beat it and beat it and beat it. It absolutely positively must come out!
