GT6 GT6 Rear WishBone disassembly

[svtmikey]

Guys,
I want to wish everyone the best of the holiday season first...may the upcoming year be the very best you've ever had!!! Be happy, have fun and be safe.

Now my questions...working on my 69 GT6, trying to get the long bolt out of the Wishbone (the one that attaches it to Vertical link)but it seems to be frozen solid. Does the bolt actually thread in, or is it pressure fit, or is this one perhaps just rusted in.
Trying to get it apart for sand blasting, and my patience is wearing thin on this one.
Second question, is there anywhere I can order the tool to pull the hubs off the axel, or does someone know of an easy way to get it off? I also need to replace the rotoflex couplings.

Thanks a lot in advance!

svtmikey, see if you can turn it after a good soaking in oil for a day or so, I use Deep Creep, cuts rust. If you can get it to turn, apply a little sideways force to the socket or wrench as you turn in the direction you would unscrew it. They will normally work slowly out. If that doesn't do it, screw the nut back on, down even with the top of the bolt and give it all you got with a big hammer as the bolt sounds like it's gone, you won't hurt a thing. Have the car up on good jack stands. Wayne

Thanks Wayne...A big hammer I can do!!!!!
I'll try the deep creep first...never heard of it before, but I'm sure the parts store will know.
