Crazy K Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 got torch? some people have torched the parts till they come out. Quote
z34duck Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 I used a cut off wheel and cut both sides of the bolt to get mine off and then just bought a new bolt. worked for me Quote
kuwaitliberation Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Similar on my Ranger, standard trans. The pilot bearing was seized in the pilot hole. I tried a ton of stuff. Finally had to get the dremel out and cut the dang thing out. Be careful not to cut through and damage the housing. An air hammer would cause more problems if you did it wrong because you could just wedge it in there sideways even tighter than it is now. Torch does sound like a good idea, cept that there is a lot of rubber parts around there. If you can isolate it, that's a really good way to get it out. Cheap, too. Quote

GutlessSupreme Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 I'm a little unclear on what the problem is exactly? Are you trying to remove the control arm and the bolt/nut's seized? Are you trying to replace the control arm bushings? Quote
