01 Control arm bushings
I have an 01 Ex 4dr with 150K on it. I went to do the front control arm bushings and replace them with the energy suspension urethane parts.
Well wouldn't you know that the rear bushing on the passengers side and the front bushing on the drivers side are seized to the bushing sleeve. I have hit them with PB and Kroil and now the bushings are totally torn from turning the bolts.
I have also hit it with the impact and an air hammer.
Any one have any ideas besided using a SMOKE WRENCH......
P.S. Pull you bolts out now and hit them all with antiseize.

I'm going to keep douching them with PB and Kroil all week and I just ordered new bolts from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. If they still don't move it looks like the torch will have to come out and play.
