I've finally gotten round to doing my trailing arm bushings and replacing the brackets with the Goodparts adjustable ones. The passenger side went off without too many hitches. Now on to the drivers side, and, uh oh, the one bolt I didn't want to be seized is....
The lower bolt on the inner bracket is completely seized. No movement, even after liberal application of WD40 and time - just chewing up the head and nut. I'm doing this on jack stands in the back yard, so there is minimal vertical room (maybe 8" max) to get anything in there. The trailing arms are still connected, else I could easily get in there and just dremel the bolt head off (ask me how I know!). Any suggestions to release this? I've thought about trying a small hacksaw to cut off the sides of the bracket, but I'm not sure there's enough space.
Thanks,
Mark
