all i want to say about this is WTF :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :beatentodeath:
I knew it would be a pain, but not this bad! I think every 17mm bolt is frozen in the entire rear suspension...I hope the pb blaster can soak in, gonna wait a couple hours...and then...although I hate it ill have to get the torch to it...
Anyone have any pointers ?
 
dunno if i can fit the airgun to some of em...even with extensions and swivels....Ill try heat first...although ive only got a propane torch so dunno if ill be getting anything red hot, but it has worked for me before..
when i put this back together im going to slather every nut and bolt in antisieze

Update-
I got them all to move...just a couple hours of PB soaking and a little heat...just a little...and of course the pulling/pushing with a breakerbar + the jack arm for an extra 3feet of leverage and praying it doesnt slip/strip/break loose really quickly and a.smash open my knuckles b.slice my wrist on rusty metal c.get hit where the sun dont shine...of COURSE i did snap one bolt...the one hoilding the abs sensor on THE SMALL ONE that i was extra careful with...and not snapped in the good way either...either i leave it on or break it off :( but i plan on taking the whole knuckle + axle out in one piece so ill deal with that crap then
