Subject:      stuck lower control arm bolt
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

after a long time of persuading the nut on the lower control arm bolt to come off, I was somewhat dismayed that the job does not seem to be over - I cannot get the bolt out at all! This is in a syncro, but I believe its the same in 2WD. Any tips?

I was close to employing my recently bought angle grinder, a small 4.5" black and decker, to cut througt the bushing and bolt when I read the direction telling me that I am not allowed to use cutting, only grinding wheels with it - does it say that with all angle grinders? Any other way to get it out?

thanks Florian
