o ya since i missed his post
that only works if the bolt is just seized on the nut, which in my experience it never has.... it has always seized on the bushing shaft on me at least... which sucks!

Both of my outer LCA bolts are froze to the bushing. I just snapped the head off the drivers side. Whats the best plan? Cut the bushings out with a sawzall? I have new LCA's.

you get factory bolts..... gotta drive to honda dealership parts desk to get em.
its a huge pita to get these seized bolts out but its posible... just remember its never in the nut part, but its in the sleeve part of the bushing. so if you have a seized bolted 99% of the time youll have to replace that bushing as well since thats where it gets seized!!!!
just remember to lather them boys up with antiseize all good down the whole shaft (no homo)
