Rear upper knuckle bushing removal/install

[DeNoZZo]

How and the hell do I get this thing out!!! I took the nut off but the bolt will not come out no matter what I try. C-clamp, heat, pb blaster, hammer, mallet, everything I could think of. The bolt will spin, along with the remains of the bushing, but it won't come out. And then I got to thinking.... How do I get the new one in?

Did you every figure it out. Also, why was you changing it. I just recently got a 99 GST Spyder and it it fish tailing/ cat walk on any bump or turn. Reading around on here and looking like my rear upper knuckle is bad or wheel bearings.

You may want to try some heat and a balljoint press/puller.

If the ball joint press didn't work then you will have to cut it out. A sawzall and fresh blade will get it done for you. I had to do it with my front lateral arm the bolt was seized in to the metal sleve in the bushing

Do you have access to air tools? An air hammer would probably break that bolt free. It's saved me many times, it sucks trying to cut a bolt out of 2 sides
