Hi, currently trying to replace my front shocks and springs. Using a tool I bought from a texan off ebay who makes and sells them, very handy. I got the passenger side done in less than an hour. However, the drivers side upper control arm bolt is seized, and PB blaster has not proven helpful. Does anybody have a tip or advice aside from just cutting the bolt out and replacing it with a new one? The passenger side was far easier to get to and remove.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Just all the usual things to try before you end up cutting the bolt - heat, impact wrench if it will fit, breaker bar, or some combination of those.
I had to use a breaker bar in the wheel well with a wrench and a block of the wood in the engine bay to keep the whole bolt from spinning.
After continually coating with the PB Blaster, and enough "oomph", I was able to get it out. So my javelin springs and KYB shocks are in, front end sits in a happy state with my 27"s and it's time to do my rear suspension. Thanks for the advice fellas
I'm glad you were able to finally convince it to give up! Thanks for sharing the results and happy motoring!
