HELP! cant get rear shock bolts out!
got the new Ksports on the front no problem but i CANNOT get the rear shock lower bolts to budge. itried heating them with a torch and hitting them with a BIG hammer but to no avail, theyre stuck, seem to be fused to the bushings. I am out of ideas short of removing the entire lower control arms and getting them pressed out or something.
any ideas?

thanks.what is pb? i soaked em with wd40 and hit em HARD with a big ol hammer, nuthin doin.what a buzzkil.
BUT it already handles MUCH better w/ just the fronts on.
i think if i have to get new bushings i'll getksportarms, the onesthat come with new bushings for under 2 hundy.

if your car has always been in the south you might not have a problem
