Rear end link removal question
I've skimmed seven pages of search results and haven't found the answer so I'm asking directly:
Like many others here I'm replacing most of the suspension bushings on my '84 GSL-SE. The problem I'm having at the moment is removing the rear end link through bolt from the bracket that bolts to the frame. The factory end link doesn't look like it has a spacer sleeve like the Energy Suspension part, or maybe it's just rusted together. The Haynes manual says to use a hammer and drift...but with all the rust is it now a big friggen hammer?
Thanks is advance.

Thanks for the quick reply.
What I ended up doing was I took the bolt head to my bench grinder and ground it off and then slid it out. It was headed to the trash can anyway.
