Front Strut Eccentric Bolt
I cannot budge the eccentric bolt on the passenger side.
I've tried everything...I can think of.
I was thinking of heating it up, but I'm nervous because it's close to the shock and brake hoses.
Anyone else ever deal with this? Help!

Take the caliper off then, only two 19mm bolts.
Usually this ends up with another side project to drill out a broken bolt stud .
Making some drastic camber changes for tomorrow..??

I had someone else give it a try and they were able to free it up. Either I'm getting weeker as I get older, or the PB Blaster plus my trying finally kicked in.
Manning - actually I didn't loosen the bottom bolt first. Was I supposed to?
Set it almost to the lowest setting. Wheels have a lot of camber. About 1.50 deg. from my measurements. Hope it helps tomorrow!
