Removing the entire spring plate and torsion bar to swap them to later arm.. All bolt came very good but one and the last( @!&!) is seized in bushing sleeve. I try heat, pb blaster, impact wrench , again heat .. The nut as been remove but the bolt is stuck inside the sleeve and now the whole bushing turn in the arm when i turn the bolt.. Anybody?
The car is an 944 1983 and im talking about the long screw that bolt tru the rocker

pressure - use a crowbar to pull it out, or a bearing/gear puller.

Can't u use a round punch to drive it out from the opposite side.

Bang it hard with a hammer from all sides and above.

I cut the head and puched it hard as **** and still dont move.

I would not have cut the head off.

What did cutting the head do?

Gave him one less option for holding on to the bolt.

There is no acces the other side for a punch so i cut the head to drive it to the other side.. Aniway its only a 2 $ bolt

Put a support under the arm just below this bolt situaton and lower the car to position that bolt will come to center of hole. Spray it with massive amount of wd40 and it will come out.

^^^^ raise the arm and release the pressure on the bolt. punch out. shouldn't be tough at all. if it's seized - PB blaster, liquid wrench, wd40 and let it soak overnight.

I've had exactly the same problem, nothing worked out (heat, hammer, puller, really nothing!).

So the final option was to take hacksaw and saw through the rubber silentbloc, aluminium inner bush and seized bolt. Do this twice (front and rear) and its lose. Also you won't have to go to the gym for a week or two since hacksawing through rubber is... well.... let me put it this way: no fun

Offcourse you'll need a new silentbloc.

i had to do something similar on an old Jeep Grand Wagoneer leaf spring suspension. no fun, but seems funny now.

Loosening frozen bolts is like making soup. Both need time. Any creeping oil will work or ATF too. Just keep soaking it for several days.
