Ok, so this is pretty basic, and I feel like a newb having to ask, but I am having the hardest time getting a broken rear lower link off. I have the inner nut off but I cant get the bolt out. I've torqued on it with a wrench, tried banging it out with a hammer, to no avail. So, is the some super secret rx7 decoder ring club trick to getting it off? Or am I useless? lol

 

Why is my mind always in the gutter when I read headings like this...lol

 

Once you get the nut off, the bolt should slide right out. If it doesn't want to comply, thread the nut on a few turns and then hit it with a hammer, or a bfg if necessary.

I am guessing it has the bolt and sleeve rusted together. Soak with a good penetrating oil, and use the above advice.

 

P B Blaster, heat and if that doesn't work, I've used an air chisel with a pointed tip. Really rattles the rust loose. Just be careful not to bend the flanges.

 

try heat... heat always works for me at work... get a torch and heat around the bolt for a few...

 

i was thinking the same thing, if this was in the lounge it would have been horrible.

if the hammer dont work torch it .

 

maybe try one of those pneumatic umm socket wrenches? i guess thats what youd call it

 

^^you mean an impact?that might help,or an air hammer.

 

thanks for the input. Ill have to buy/borrow a torch and just work away. yeehaa... i know how ill be spending tomorrow evening..
heat + smash x repetition = rust shower. super fun.
