 Hello All, I need some advice on the removal of the upper wishbone arm from the sub assembly, I have removed the shock / spring, separated the ball joint and now have the upper and lower arms ready for removal, I have taken the nut off the end of the 9.5" bolt that runs across the upper pivot point, and then tried to remove the bolt but as you can guess, " she no wanna budge", I put a big wrench with a cheater on trying to turn the bolt, but it seems frozen "rusted" in.

I've looked at the drawings and it shows a small tube sticking out the back area of the sub assembly frame were it joins the wishbone, but I don't know if the tube runs the whole length of the 9.5", to the front, can I cut the bolt in between the wishbone arms, and then get it out in pieces, or is there another trick.

What I'm afraid of is cutting or torching something that I may end up needing, any and all suggestion would be appreciated.

And the reason I'm doing all this is to change over to poly suspension bushings.

Thanks  Brett.
