Thread: Help getting 10 bolt out

Tweet

I'm trying to pry the old 10 bolt out of my chevelle and I've hit a road block. The bolt connecting the lower control arm to the housing will not come out. I've ground off both sides of the bolt but the the pin thats left will not punch out. Is there something I don't know?

Soak it for awhile with some PB Blaster or other such good penetrating oil.... After all these years the bolt is just rusted to the metal insert in the bushing.....

Hmmmmm. Sounds like a painful case of "Been there--Done that".. (Me too)

If your going to rebush it i use a 1/16 - 4 inch cut of wheel and slip it between mounts . Might give ya a better advantage getting at it .

Thanks. I think i might try splitting it. I just cant get it to punch out.
