Subject:stuck lower control arm bolt
From:Florian Speier
Date:Mon, 1 Feb 2010 20:25:31 -0800

after a long time of persuading the nut on the lower control arm bolt to
come off, I was somewhat dismayed that the job does not seem to be over - I
cannot get the bolt out at all! This is in a syncro, but I believe its the
same in 2WD. Any tips?

I was close to employing my recently bought angle grinder, a small 4.5"
black and decker, to cut througt the bushing and bolt when I read the
direction telling me that I am not allowed to use cutting, only grinding
wheels with it - does it say that with all angle grinders? Any other way to
get it out?

thanks
Florian
