ok, i think god is trying to tell me not to do this. but im not religious, so i dont care.

after the damn sway bar link stripped ( 28 dollars at satan) i was pissed. then i lost lug nut key. then i think i have it ready to go and boom. well not boom, but, damn.
this bolt now dosnt want to come out.

i get the nut off and the washer, but i cant hit the bolt out, and trust me, ive tryed for like 2 hours with every different thing you can. i think the rubber is stuck or sumit. anyone else with a problem like this? and how much will this cost me? ;(

it will come out. i think we jacked up the lower arm a little to relieve some stress on the bolt and made it a little easier. i've redone the suspesion on my car and lowered my buddies and helped another and each car has it's own sets of little devils you have to overcome. but yeah, the bolt will come out eventually.
later

welp, still to no avail. my theroy is that it is like, crazy rusted to the arm thingy. the one that the shock is attached to. i dunno, i tryed hammers, grinders, screwdrivers, wd, more hammers, even tryed ghetto rigging thespring commpressers to get it off. i dunno, and now my suspention is like halfway grinded off trying to get off the sway bar link.
