i got the nut off but i cant get the bolt out. it just spins if i try to back it out. i tried hitting it with a piece of wood and a hammer, no luck. tried a piece of wood and a BFH. still no luck. i jacked the control arm up to get the tension off it and it still wouldnt budge. what am i doing wrong? all i wanna do is get the spring out!

bolt is rusted to the steel sleev inside the bushing...

 

i soak in pb blaster, and heat them and beat them, and replace and anti seize them

 

with the heating tho, cant get it too hot at once, it catchs the bushing on fire, and melts it away..

 

and why are you removing the control arm ? you dont need to to do springs in that car

Well, i dont have a spring compressor. Lowering the control arm worked in the front with no issues. Tomorrow ill lube er up and heat it and then beat it. What other way can i get the spring out? this rake looks hideous.

you dont need that either

take shocks off and lower rear end down put new springs in, jack rear end back up.. should take like 15 mins

 

this.....:gtfo:
