OK I was going to change the rear control arm on the front suspension on the driver side tonight. Well i ran in to a problem, i can't get the pinch bolt out. I've done the other side before and it went fine, so i have an idea of what i am doing. I have tried EVERYTHING torch, PB blaster, punch + 2 pound hammer, i mean every thing. Just wondering if my only next option is to drill it out? I also have the idea of saying screw it and just getting a salvaged knuckle and changing it b/c i think my bearing is going bad too. Any ideas are welcomed and thanks in advance...Also, I apologize for the horrible grammar, but it is 3 AM and I'm quite perturbed.

 

That is the biggest PITA. Given the year of the car and the years of build up it is going to be ab chore. I used a air hammer with a chisel on the end go straight in at it. That did it for me

 

My pinch bolt was also frozen, had to actually drill the length or it to get it out, not an easy chore as I had to be careful not to go off center and damage the sides.MYair hammer would not budge it! GOOD LUCK BENG
