  • Control arm bolt removal tips? The nut broke free of the weld inside the frame..

    Title says most, has anyone come up with a good way to get this apart? I have new control arms to install, but the nut broke free.

    You cant play songs by queen around these cars. They get bad ideas... lots of tips and different threads on this if you search for it. Its fairly common.

        Thanks! I tried using the search function but I suppose I didn't use the right terms. I feel silly not having thought about cutting the head off and beating the bolt through. I'll try prying the bars off and putting a socket on it first. Thanks again for the advice, I'll practice my search terminology lol.

          ^^ and unfortunately people sometimes don't put the subject matter in the subject line and instead put something like "help needed" which makes searching difficult
