Can't pull A-arm Bolt Out?

[KpnitG]

I dont know why but i cant pull out the damn a arm Bolt?? Is there a trick to it?

[bansheefreak]

which one is it... there is not a nut from the bumper blocking it is there??? just use a smaller bolt and tap it out with a bfh

Brass punch and a big ass hammer does wonders. If that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer.

Sound's like the bolt is bent, or a bad bushing in the A-arm. Any ways you should check it out after you get it out and replace the worn out part's. I would use some type of lube/spray to slick the process of removing this part. Also befor re-assembly check your zirk fitting to make sure it's not plugged up for Fu-maintance.

There's a 3 step process to this.

 

 

1. Hit it with a hammer

 

2. Get a bigger hammer

 

3. Go back to step 1

if it is seized in the sleeve it s not coming out, i cut the ends off with a cut wheel on a 4 inch grinder.pull the a arm out and trash whats left of the bolt and sleeve.e bay has the new parts you need, some hq`er gotta have a bolt and sleeve.

I agree with NYUK i had to do the same thing i cut both ends of the bolt off with a grinder and cut off wheel but then took the a-arm to a vise where icould get more room and really wacked the shit out of it with a really big hammer and it finally came out. Then i just ordered a new bolt.

i had a similar problem, get an impact and a flat head screw drivin prying on it at the same time, worked for me

[KpnitG]

I just hammered the shit out of it and it came right out! thanks Guys!

If you GREASE it on a regular basis ... it won't seize up ! (thats why u have grease nipples)
