I have been attempting to rebuild my rear suspension but to no avail, I'm stuck on the trailing arm bolts! I have been air hammering and sledging the life out of me, have gotten some movement but not able to successfully remove them.

Any experience in this? Poor car has been off the road 4 years now and I have just gotten around to purchasing some new components and bushings but this is hindering my progress! Any help would be greatly appreciated

Further information: 1977 L48. old *** original bushings and some northeast salt rust.. Yeesh.

 

most I know of have just cut them

 

You can cut them w/ an air saw or Sawzall.

 

I figured it would eventually come to that, just hard to get to at the height I have it set up at. Worth a shot! Thanks for the replies fellas

 

I did mine w/ it on jack stands.

Hey, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.

 

yes , years ago

 

Yes, cut them out.
That's how I did mine.

 

I think that's the only way on these old cars. The bolt and nut have become one.
