Hi all, Happy New Year to everyone! I am attempting to replace the rubber/steel bushings in my radius arms. There are 8 of them. After a number of hours spent removing just the nuts due to 30 years of road grime, undercoat of some sort, etc. I am now trying to remove the bolts. I have been able to remove one! The others are frozen. What has happened is the metal insert in the rubber bushing has rusted to the bolt. I have tried WD-40, Super Penetrant, brake fluid (eats everything else!) and applied heat. A 5lb hammer and a drift just bounch off the bolt. No luck at all. At this point I am at the "Sawz-all" stage. I do not want to cut the bolts and the cutting of the rear ones would be very tricky indeed. Before I start cutting does anyone have any suggestions?? I'll try about anything. Thanks, Don Lattimer #3m5759 V6 Willits, Ca
