cant remove rear shock bolt

[josedll]

the nut is turning as i try to remove the bolt. I have tried using a wrench to hold the nut but the bolt seems to only rotate a bit and then it goes back, almost like if the bolt is stuck to the strut bushing.

Soak it w/ PB blaster for a few hours. If that doesn't do it you might need to cut it or torch it. Sometimes just heating it up helps crack the nut loose.

Which one are you having problems with, upper or lower??

 

[amorris95gst]

an air impact gun should take it off if no air than a impact drill will work

Good luck there . Mine was a female dog to get off . Like stated . PB Blaster , heat , breaker bar w/ pipe on it for more leverage .

After I got the bolt out I had to rip the strut off of the bushing . Then cut the bushing off . Then the steel sleeve . Sucks but you can get .

thanks guys after 3 hours of frustrations it is done, but i had to use pb blaster, heat, breaker bar. the funny thing is that the other side came loose without a problem i just put a wrench and pulled with a breaker bar and it came out. i was already expecting to start struggling but i guess i was just lucky
