I have a front control arm bolt frozen to the inner sleeve of the bushing. I can't drive it out with a pin punch. My 4 1/2" grinder doesn't reach it. My saw saw with Dewalt bimetal metal cut blades won't cut through the bolt.

I need some suggestions how to get this out and move on.

When that happens to me I just Yell and curse at it........never works....

The only thing I can think of should be your last alternative...get someone with a torch and cut it off but ofcourse you will need to replace the a arm.

Keep soaking it in PB Blaster and then try to knock it out with an Air Chisel.
