16910, Help removing....
Posted by ClipseRST, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I need help removing the rear tow control arm. There’s a bolt that I can not get out... I have illustrated the bolt in my pictures. Is there a trick to it...? I know I have to match up the lines so I can put it back in, but I can not get the bolt out... I’ve used everything in my arsenal. I will give points for help.

I had a similar problem w/ my front lower control arm. I kept turning the ratchet while I was hitting the other side of the bolt with a hammer. I also used a lot of WD-40 to lube things up. Just be careful that you dont screw up the threads.

you said you needed a saw... were you packing heat? you should have taken a torch to that mofo... i've had to do that to get my calipers off (not the calipers, but the brackets they mount to)

LOL... Yes I did take a torch to it then tryed pounding it out....NOT A GOOD IDEA WHEN THE METAL IS HOT!!! It basically compacted my bolt tighter so it was way to thick for nut to go back on. I got fed up and grabbed the saw.
