control arm bolt ?

[Joe200man]

been trying to get the drivers side rear bolt loose on the upper control arms. I was able to get an impact on it with an extension and a swivel and it still wont come loose. any other tricks?? If i take all the ABS junk off can i get a wrench on it?

Anybody?? I have to get this fixed. the ball joint is shot and it doesn't even have a boot on it anymore.

Even with the ABS crap out of the way no way to get a wrench on it and turn it much if any
Long breaker bar and put some Wheaties behind it
When reinstalling make sure full weight is on the ground before you tighten it all the way up

Do u still usual have to use a swivel with the breaker bar? I didnt have a breaker bar with me to try it but i figured an impact was better since i was using the swivel but it didnt lol

 

[tommudd]

Yes still have to use swivels

Extend the breaker bar with a pipe! Works every time.

Well after hours and hours of work i still can not get this bolt loose. I took it to a local front end shop this morning and they had a 5 ft cheater pipe on it and it still didn't budge. so i'm just gonna have to cut it. My question is do i have to use the oem bolts? Is there anything else special about them besides the tab on the head?

Use a nut spliter on it and put a new one on it after.
