I am changing some bushings on the rear suspension. I have the wheel hub assembly off the car but I can seem to get the big bolt that goes through the two lateral arms out of the assembly. I've tried all kinds off stuff. What's the trick?

WHat probably happened is the bolt and bushing sleeve have become one piece. You have to twist while pushing, and you'll need a new bolt to put the car back together.

Are you putting the ES bushings in? That is when I ran into this problem.

I figured it out!! I got some MAPP gas and heated it up for about five minutes. It came right out w/ no damage to the bolt.
