HELP!!!! I'm trying to lower the front end of my ' 70 Squareback and am having trouble loosening the right side lower trailing arm from the splines that hold it in. I've tried pullers, heat, air hammers, crowbars, liquid wrench, and nothing seems to break it free. I'm pretty sure that there is some rust keeping it from moving but this is getting ridiculous. The last puller I tried I tightened it with a lot of torque, I measured it with a torque wrench and it was 120 ft/lbs!!!! Any help that anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks.
