Shouldnt they be reasonably easy to remove? It seems like the top nut is rusted on the bolt quite well, ive tried PB Blaster, but to no avail. Is there a good way to remove them? IE, load on the suspension, one side up vs both? Reason im replacing them is the car has way too much body roll lately, and the bushings are pretty beat up considering their age. I bought a new set of links made by Energy Suspension, just cant get the old ones off first.
If you're replaceing them anyway, just cut them in half. That's what I've always done.
The new kit should come with new bolts, nuts, bushings, washer-thingies, and a spacer.
Hmm, never thought about that, might have to do that, wheres a good spot to do that at though?
I take a sawzall to one of the middle bushings, or if you're not so confident about your cutting skills the spacer (don't cut the swaybar or the control arm!)
I just cut off the nut under the control arm, by doing so nothing is in your way.
I actually thought about using a hack saw to the bolt somewhere, the bottom one might be difficult, as theres not too much room from the bolt to the Control arm, but somewhere in the middle should work.
