Recently, I replaced the entire rear end suspension/sway bar from a parts car onto a Honda that a customer had backed over a gas pump barrier with. The reason being that I could not get one of the bolts on each rear control arm out. It is a two piece, two bolt assembly that connects to the sub frame via one more mounting bolt and bushing. The car is completely drivable now, yet naturally, it is out of alignment. I don’t do alignments, so we sent it to an alignment shop, who also claims they cannot remove the bolt. No amount of leverage, ratcheting, hammering, coaxing, WD-40, or even begging has urged this one bolt on each side out of it’s home, and any advice form some of the more Honda aquainted mechanics and squirrels would be greatly appreciated.
You left out heating, cutting and drilling. I have this 30" 3/4" drive breaker bar…
It’s the twenty-first century. Have you no lasers? Ok. Is it possible that the bolt is reverse-threaded?
The bolt may have been secured with “LoK-Tite Red” to insure it could never “fall out”.
Using a torch (Oxy-Acetylene is best) quickly heat the bolt to high temperature (this will break the LokTite bond) and they should come right out. SOMETIMES a garden variety propane torch will generate enough heat if the bolt is not too long…
