Hi guys, I got a used lower control arm but the bolt connected to the stabilizer link is rusted.
I used PB blaster but no help so far. Any suggestion to take it off? Thank you guys.

QUOTE (richee3 @ Nov 9, 2012 - 3:46 PM)  I'd try to grab between the nut and the mount with a pair of vice grips to hold the bolt still while taking a ratchet to the nut. If that doesn't work, time to get a grinder or torch out. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=41243 correct. At the point you're at I would just use a cut off wheel on my grinder.

I've used impact guns to take off and put on endlinks enough times. Did it on my Mazda and did it on my 6GC. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
