hey guys i am trying to pull my front radius arm out and the bolt in the top of the arm is seezed in the bush..
i had this issue in my rear arms once, but the fix was to cut down the side of the bush.. that isnt going to work in this situation as i need the bush.

i have tried heating the bolt up till the bush smoked... and smashing the other end of the bolt with a hammer.. all that got me was a bent mount and fucked bolt..

any ideas? i have also tried crc etc...

Phil

Last time i had a bolt with this issue, i just kept turning it in the bush until it broke loose.. Took a decent size breaker bar to tear the bush though.

You need a bigger hammer, got any of that roost off shit? The ice stuff, heat it up then cool it down really fast. I've done it a few times.

the bolt is basicly rusted into the sleeve
