Not particularly. Mine just tapped out. Possibly try loads of WD40 and leave it to stand.

I have had to take the front anti roll bar off until I can get spacers!

Good luck.

Wanderer:
What can happen is that the bolt is seized to the inner metal of the bush.
It then parts company with the rubber and appears that the bolt spins when in actual fact it is still seized on the bush.

Been there done that and it involved lots of heat. I wasn't too worried about damage to the arm (as new ones were going on anyway)

Putting the arms back on is best done by only putting taking off the front bolts on both arms. This allows the axle to roll to its new position. Don't try to do it with the other old front bolt in.

Strategic use of a trolley jack under the arm helps with pushing it into the right position to get the first front bolt in.

JDB:
... that's what I feared -- and had happened on the rear - that was easy to cut out - so going to soak for a few days in WD40 and then try again.

If not it will be off to the local experts - I don't have the means to burn it out (might take all day with a small blow torch for four).


Thanks.
