hey,
ive just been installing new suspension into my 1989 Mazda Familia GT 2wd and ive done the front and rear left without issue and i got to litiraly the last bolt left to remove for the entire job, the bolt at the bottom of the rear strut.
its completly stuck.
i have had to cut and replace a couple of bolts and i knew this was the case with the problem bolt so i have a replacement ready. so i cut off the head expecting it to slide out like the 2 others i cut. however this one just stay stuck and i mean REALLY stuck ive used plenty or penetrating oil and pulled and banged it more than enough and it hasnt moved one bit.
im really hopeing someone has had the same problem and has a way around it because its going to be very hard for my to find a replacement suspension arm that this bolt runs through.
and if its important, the bolt runs though a rubber bushing and is NOT threaded. its just a rod through a hole and there shouldn't be any reason why its not moving.
thanks in advance,
Josh
