Rear control arm bolt, wont budge!

*** tring to install my ES bushing kit, and I can not get the bolt that runs through the two rear control arms, and the hub assyembly. I know what the prob is. The bolt is so rusted it seized around the bushings and will not budge. Has any one else had this problem? If so please help.
P.S. I have already taken it to the machine shop, and they could not press the bolt out. I have aslo soaked the pieces in rust penatrent

Exactly what we had to do on my SE-R.. I'm hoping a couple weeks of PB Blaster will prevent this on my NX, but we'll see.

Good luck,

Josh

I cut the nut end off and used an impact wrench to finally get it out.

Re: Rear control arm bolt, wont budge!

You guys are talking about the 22mm bolt, right? If so, yes, that a was hell with me too, but I got mine out with the help of a breaker bar, PB blaster and a lot of grunts and screams.
