Bolt seized in a bushing

Featured Replies

Any ideas for removing a big suspension bolt that is seized in the rear lower control arm? I've soaked it on PBBlaster overnight and have used an air ratchet and a breaker bar and tried driving it out from the other end. Before I try removing the whole control arm, any garage tricks I should try?

Perhaps some heat? Legacy, right? Is this the long bolt on the lower part of rear suspension? Those can be a pain. You might have to pull the trailing arm with it and work it over out of the car. Someone from the "rust belt" might come along with a better solution too.

Trailing arm? Or the lateral link bolt?

Are you replacing the bushing? Or taking it apart for some other reason?

I took the whole control arm off. I have to make sure the alignment stays at least close.
