After sitting for most of the last 15 years, and a chance meeting with a guardrail, of necessity I'm rebuilding the front end. I've beaten, wrenched, soaked, and heated most parts loose. And although I don't have everything loose yet, I'm currently working on the pivot bolt going thru the trunnion. The lock nut came off fine, but the pivot bolt seems to be rusted solid in the trunnion. The vertical link is off, its getting penetrating oil constantly, and I've put a 2 foot breaker bar with a 6 pt impact socket, and the bar just flexes. I haven't put the propane torch on it yet because of the nylon bushings. If (when?) those melt, is it going to make it harder to get off and clean up later ? I could put my daughters 260 lb boyfriend on the breaker bar, but I don't really want the bolt to snap, or the breaker bar. Any other methods or suggestions ?
