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...
