rear LCA seized bolt problem....and JIC tie rod Q's

hey guys.i decided instead of making two new threads i would make one,and i did a search before making this thread,soooo
i am trying to get my REAR lca out where it connects to the subframe,everything else is disconnected from it,so it just hangs, but the bolts that adjust the camber are seized like no other.anyone else have this problem before? i have liquid wrenched them like crazy,hammered on them a lot,an impact will spin it,but it wont come out?
am i missing something? trying to take them out to replace the pillow *****.


second question.

anyone own jic tie rods? if so,did yours come with a steering angle spacer? and did you use the old washer that locks on so it wont come loose? from the looks of it and kind of trying it,it looks like no washer can be used.so just use some thread lock or what?


thanks for taking your time to read and please help me

On the seized bolts -

Are the nuts off and they're seized the the arm bushings, or are the nuts still on? Did you put penetrating oil on the nuts and their threads?

I asked this because I didn't see any comment on the nuts.

You might want to try some heat, but be careful not to heat the bushing up, direct the heat away from the bushing (but on the bolt/eccentric washers).

As for the tie rods check this out! https://www.rx7club.com/potential-advertisers-223/superangle-tie-rods-fc-fd-724090/

thanks guys,ya i forgot to mention,i have been putting a lot of pentrating oil on them,and i got both the nuts off,the bolts spin,but they do not slide out. i am guessing the busing is busted and the bolt just spinds with the bushing.i tried a little propane torch,but looks like i will need more heat like a acetylene torch. i will have to bite the bullett and just get new bushing for the arms i am thinking
