Re: Rear top coil spring bolt

If you're not planning on saving the bolt.
Grinder,cut-off tool,sawzall.
Sometimes you can drown 'em in pb blaster and wait overnight and try again.
Those bolts get a lot of dirt from the drive tires and sometimes have to be sacrificed.

PB Blaster will work most of the time. I will grab a cheater bar and try to snap them off if they don't start easily.

Re: Rear top coil spring bolt

Yeah I think I had to use some PB blaster and hit it with a small torch a few times to get it nice and hot so the PB could soak in. I eventually got it out, but it was a fight.

I just put my breaker-bar and broke it in two, it took a couple of seconds.
