Default Help!

Alright so i just got tubular lower control arms and have everything unbolted except for the lower bolts on the LCA's. I have the nut off but the bolts just keep spinning in place. I sprayed pen. oil on it and everything but no luck. I tried pounding them out but the brakes are in the way of getting a good swing. Anyone who has done the LCA swap has this happened to you? Is it just me? Any ideas? My car is in peices in the driveway right now till i figure this out. . .

Well yeah all that stuff i already know. Thats basic install. I just want to know how the F**K you get the lower bolts out! They are plastered in there and wont come out. I just went out and tried again but no use. I've got the nuts off but the bolts are stuck in the holes. They just turn in place and i cant get them out.

take the brakes off so you can hit them out, it's not that hard, hit then use a punch when it gets to far in. i also used a propane torch to help soften the bushings. it's a pita but can be done.

Try grabbing the bolt with a set of big vice grips. Then tap the vice grips with a hammer and wiggle the control arm.
