1g Rear Upper control arm problem

[91_talon_at]

i was intending on installing my whiteline rear camber bushings on my control arm last weekend but couldn't get the rear upper control arm out. the back bolt is apparently stuck on the bushing and when you try to unbolt that bolt it just swings back at you. what you guys think i should do? and if u don't understand what i'm talkin bout try and clairfy it. thanks

Are you talking about the bolt that is by the wheel? Or cam bolt? The cam bolt(the one by the rear diff) should just come right out. The bolt my the wheel is tapered you have to hit it out with a hammer.

Here is a pic from when i took my arm out. As you can see the bushing cannot have melted over the bolt. There is a super thick steel shaft that the bolt slide thru. Plus the rubber is very heat resistant. took me about 20 minutes with a blow torch to burn the stock one out completely.
