RE: frozen bolt

The bolt is stuck in the sleeve in the leaf spring. They have seized together over the years, which is why the bolt won't come out, by cutting it you eliminate the sleeve problem, it shouldnt be tough to get the rest of the bolt out.

RE: frozen bolt

this was a royal PITA to take out i used PB Blaster and Aero Kroil like crazy after a while i managed to removed it with a slide hammer. your best bet though is the fire wrench.
