25657, Rear toe adjustment Posted by mbenz910, Nov-11-04 02:10 PM
Went for an alignment today. The guy told me that he couldn't adjust my rear toe because the adjustment is stuck. He told me that he could cut it off and replace it or I could take it home and work on it over the weekend. I chose to work on it. Anyway, I'm just wondering what I may need to buy. If I can't get it off I'm going to have to replace them. I figure I'll buy them and take them in with the car to finish my alignment. TIA.

Im in the same boat, they broke the nut off the bolt and now the bolt is rusted in the sleeve and they cant get it out, I had to buy a new bolt/washer/nut. I called bob kise and asked him for the rear toe adjustment bolt/washer/nut.
they just welded it for me and now I have to figure out how to get the bolt out

Give it the PB Blaster treatment, spray it down every 10 minutes and then let it soak over night, then spray it again.
If that doesn't work, use a torch to heat it up. It should come off easily with a MAPP torch.

been there done that, I tried everything I could possibly think of, PB blaster, air hammer over a wrench, impact set to full blast, and still no go, tried for about two weeks with daily aplications of PB blaster. I ended up cutting the toe control arms off with an acetalene torch, very difficult. you have to be very careful not to burn a hole in the crossmember(don't ask). if you do it that way, make sure you have the garden hose handy because the rubber bushing will catch fire. BTW get the camcentric bolts from the junkyard, they aren't worth the 15 bucks the stealership wants for them
