2008 Yukon Denali, 135k miles, part 2!!

Ok got the nut off but the bolt is seized in the bushing really bad.

I have an air hammer I'll try in the next day.

If that doesn't work I'm taking it to a shop. Cutting out grade 8 bolts doesn't sound fun.

That air hammer should get it. [emoji6]

X2--I think it'll work that bisch right out!

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

Air hammer, big ******* hammers, kroil for days etc. Nope.

I need this torched out and I don't have a torch.

I suppose I should put it back together with the arms and have someone else do it.

**** salt! ;-)

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.

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
