Well a few of my buddies helped put in my suspension saturday. got 3 of the corners done but we could not get the rear shock out. the bolted connection to the trailing arm was giving us a huge ass problem. we put an impact wrench to it, a torch to it, 10ft of ghetto breaker bar to it, no budging.

Anyone know a place in pittsburgh that isn't going to charge me an outrageous amount to chop off the bolt and put a new one in? we'll pull the shock ourselves, we just need that facking bolt off.

damn that sucks. u been soaking it in blaster? shit usually will break free after awhile.

i had the same prob with my rear. the lca bushing gelded itselg to the bolt and blew the entire rear lca bushing out of my srr lca's :thumbdown:

now i wanna roll PIC lca's and titanium lca bolts. but $

best of luck getting this all squared away.

Can you get a grinder in there? or a chisel and hammer? plenty of ways to get a bolt off if your not worried about saving it...

PB Blaster has been my friend on many occasions. If I know I'm working on something tomorrow, I'll start it soaking in the Blaster today. Makes a world of difference.
