p.s. is this the bolt you're talking about?



that rear lower control arm bolt is a super bitch...

After a failed attempt on another member's car, here's what we learned. We bailed because the bolt head was rounded and would pose a serious issue on reassembly.

you're going to need a can (or two) of liquid wrench, a jack or two, and a six sided driver (a socket that fits 100% snug on the bolt). This will prevent rounding of the head which is a good thing.

Soak the bolt on both ends with some liquid wrench... and let it sit for a while.. then go back, soak again, and let sit for a while.

get the car on jackstands, and use a jack to take a little bit of load off the control arm (you want to compress the spring with the jack basically)..

now, if you don't have air tools, this gets a bit tedius.. back out the bolt a bit, then tighten it back up.. back it out a bit more, and then back in.. slowly working through the rust and crap that's built up over the years. Even with air tools you may need to work it back and forth.

Don't forget to add more liquid wrench as you go along... the more the merrier... and eventually you should be able to work it out.&lt;a
