grrrreat mine has to be different. The bolt head of mine is on the inside and the nut was on the outside towards the brakes...any ideas
Mine was the same way I used a long nail about a foot long and hit the pointy end with the hammer and the flat head on the bolt. Took alot of pounding and alot of noise but it WILL come out.

It wasnt easy to keep the nail still. From the angle I was hitting it made like a 150degree angle it moved slowly and after I got it most of the way out i used 2jacks one for the rear end and one for the frame to move up and down till it eventually loosend up to wiggle the bolt out.(im not the best at explaining things lol)

Wow...this is gonna be more fun than I thought. I hope the other side comes out easily lol
I thought it would be easy when I opened the box too turned out to take almost a full day from getting frustrated and taking breaks from pounding at the bolt.

I just hope me and my friend can get it out tomorrow. One way or the other I am runnin my car at the track on friday and I would hate to have to throw my stock parts back on there lol
Do you have the car supported by the rear end? That's not gonna work. You need to put jackstands under the frame rails and raise and lower the rear end with a jack. Depending on how the car is jacked up, you just need to raise or lower the rear end to find the point where the axle and arm are "free" from each other.
There is NO reason in the world that the bolt shouldn't just slide right out when you find that magic point. Do you get what I'm saying?
I had the same prob I just took mine off 2 days ago. the sleve in the bushing is rusted to the bolt thats why it wont move. heres what i did impact gun than impact hammer with no luck to much movement in the axle than i tried it with a jack and still no luck. Than I said F*** it I got my sawza with a demo blade and medium speed and cut the bolt. Than I was lucky to have the other 3 come out with a hammer. oh yea I took off my breaks rotors and dust shields made it a hell of alot easier watch out for your studs, put your lugs back on. text me if you need more help sent you my #

Cool thanks. I have the jack stands on the frame near the other end of the LCAs and I was trying to jack the rear up and down to find that sweet spot but it didnt seem to help
