I have tried over and over again to get those out with no avail. I use a cutting disc on both of the inside edges of the plates the hold the bushing. I replace bushing sleeve and bolt. I also have been using anti seize on all replacement parts and they have been removable since. df -------- <VW4X4@VERIZON.NET> wrote: I had a scrap yard sell me two rear control arms. The yard could not get the two main hinge bolts out, so they cut the entire body off the van. Now I can not get these bolts out of the rubber without damage eather. Anyone got any tricks up they're sleeve? Anyone ever replace these rubber bushings? |
