Im in the middle of removing the rear end on my car and I cannot get the bolts out of the lower control arms that attach it to the rear end. Everything else is done, the nuts are even off the bolts. I just cant seem to remove the bolts to release the rear end. Anyone who has done this before or installed aftermartket control arms could u give me any advice?

 

Just use a hammer and knock them out. Tap on the end of them and turn the at the same time.

 

Use a screw driver that is smaller then the bolt and then hammer out the bolts with the screw driver.

 

alright, thats what ive been trying. I guess they are just on there really good.

 

The axle may be pinching it. Try taking some load off of the bolts, by either twisting the axle or lifting it a little bit.

 

bassman nailed it. lift the axle a bit... you may have to wiggle it a bit to get them broke free.

 

have tried everything, the bolts spin freely but i cannot hit them out. Anyone have any other ideas?

 

Damn, your still working on those bolts? Do you have the shocks, quad shocks, everything else unbolted? You should seriously be able to wiggle the axle and bang that sucker out.

There's only one option left....Blow torch.

 

got em off, the bolts had rusted to the metal sleeve inside the rubber. I finally got fed up and just cut them the control arms off

 

good man.
