Yep, time to break out the big boy tools. I did upper ball joints on my burb this last weekend and has to break out the BFH a couple of times to get that bolt out. They stubborn but they just need a little persuasion

memory maybe a little fuzzy, but i dont think those bolts unthread out. the bushing and the shell has a rectangular shape that the bolt goes thru. you just need to hammer the bolt out.
i would do some research before beating the shit out of it with a hammer but i thought thats how the older trucks were anyway

That would suck. He did try to hammer it out with no luck.memory maybe a little fuzzy, but i dont think those bolts unthread out. the bushing and the shell has a rectangular shape that the bolt goes thru. you just need to hammer the bolt out.

I did my best. Now isn't the time to buy torch and use my truck to learn on.
I'd rather spend my time and frustration elsewhere.

I hear that!
Sleeping on it I'm not in a time crunch and maybe could use this as an excuse to buy more tools rather than pay labor hours.
Is this a dumb idea to get? (or something like it) I have a fire extinguisher and hose in the garage. lol

I live in the great white north and my go-to friends are my Milwaukee brushless M18 1/2 impact (1100ft/lb?), Port-A-Torch set, and the Mayhew Shake N Break air hammer socket adapter set.
I recently started to use the Shake N Break 1/2 and 3/8 and they are PRICELESS. While it’s hammering the bolt you turn it with a 3/4” wrench. It’s a total bolt saver. Some bolts still need to be heated cherry red but when used with the Shake tool they don’t snap. Pair are $30.

Surely the passenger side will go better!
1st bolt ripped off. The shop is a block from my house.
A sawzall with a good metal blade, like a Diablo, will make fairly quick work of those bolts.
Slide the blade between the bushing and the brackets on the frame.
These carbide tipped ones?

Those would probably do it... I've never used that particular one, I usually use the fine tooth blades, but the Diablo blades cut very well.
Good to know. Thanks for the ideas!

You probably want to get a couple of them as you will only be cutting with the very tip of that blade due to clearance issues... it's not like you can get full use of the blade in this situation... but you can keep the blades for later use.
