So, I am replacing my 122k touring suspension and 122k 6 pillows at the same time (very excited to feel what it drives like) I have the pillow in both rear upper arms replaced, and now I need to do the 4 (2 in each) in the rear lower arms. I have the nuts/bolts affiliated with eh 2 pillows removed, but I am having trouble with the camber adjustment bolts on both sides. I did use whiteout to make a mark on each camber plate to the chassis like the FSM suggests, but I can't get these bolts loose for the life of me. I need to remove them so I can get the arms under a press to get the last 2 pillows removed and get the new ones in. Am I missing something?

All I can think of is the liberal use of PB Blaster, maybe let it set overnight.
If you don't have any luck, bring it down sometime and we'll put on the lift. Things always go better with a Corona in one hand.....and an air impact in the other.

 

ya i made a thread exacly like this asking this question.the bolt spins but will not come loose. all the hammering in the world would not get it loose. so you have to heat it up and melt the bushing and pretty much destroy it to get the bolt out... i tried a little propane torch,but it only melts the outside of the bushing. you will need an acetylene torch to get it hot enough.i put liquid wrench on it a lot everyday and let it sit,used an impact to spin it. it will just shred the bushing and make the bushing spin with the bolt....so good luck.i am choked too..

 

I will be spraying it with PB and try that route. It would be so much easier to extract the pillows with the arm removed I think. Jim, save me a corona...
