Scotty need some quick advice maybe I'm missing something I haven't tried, but anyway I've been trying to replace my lower control arm within rebuilding my front end suspension, but i got spring bolt out and unloaded but I've tried getting it out with a hammer/sledge, I've tried heating with torch and trying again, I've got loctites naval jelly rust remover and coated it multiple and its chip rust away definitely but it isnt moving after that,I've even used my air hammer with all this,and no movement at all, so figure I'd ask if you got any other ideas?


can you post a photo?

Worst case scenario is to cut it out and reinstall with new hardware.


Also, try PB Blaster.


Yeah i've grudging about all day to do it i started thinking though is to cut the top of the low control arm enough for the bar to pull up out of it to get the new lower control arm in and the torsion bar will still be in tact
