vice grips if you can, or else goto mitsu or a dealer and they cost around 25-30 dollars. and then you have to grind off the old one, its a pain in the ass. so try vice grips, that worked for me (on one side)

I had to cut mine off with a compressor. Hopefully you can get it with vice grips like ^^^ said. Good luck.

Having Problems? Heres my Three step solution to anything 2gnt related.
Step 1: Put down everything in your hands.
Step 2: Grab a lucky strike, Smoke it.
Step 3: Walk to the fridge, double fist some keystone ice, sit down in the shade, drink one beer, finish cigarette, drink other beer, roll a joint, smoke it, walk back to your problem, and in about 5 minutes the solution will come to you.
If not. Go here: here

If still nothing, your trying to hard. Start over at step 1.

I had the same problem. It was rusted on there pretty good, and the shoulders were rounded off the bolt. I just cut it off with a dremel.

grind or cut, maybe a torch or plasma cutter if you can get it in there. i'd use a air tool to grind the thing off. then slip on your new one.

well, if you want to, should be able to leave it on if i can remember right, just have to take off the camber bolts at the top. they are right next to the bolts in the engine bay. there is 2 of them, and they are prolly 17 mm if i remember. once you get those off just start yanking at the suspention. hope this helps.
