    Default Damnation..

    Found a 850Ci @ the scrapyard with only 12500 miles on it, I wanted to rip the control arms from it, they´re near mint but I can´t for the love of god get the lower strut assembly bolts to loosen..

    I´ve been working at them for 2 days, I´ve even taken the entire strut assembly off on the left.. They seem welded on!

    I guess I´ll bite the apple and get some stock lemmies instead..

    Just had to rant a little!

    What kind of tools are you using?
    These are always tight but nothing a long breaker bar or a pipe won't solve.
    Let the junkyard guys have at it with a smokewrench if it's that tight.

    Use a hammer on the wrench, None of these bolts are that tight man...

    Has anyone else had a nut beat them?

    Never mind, my 1st ex beat me lots.
