Hey guys,
So I'm doing a 5 lug swap, and the rear subframe that I have the 5 lug has crappilly welded subframe "bushings", and it's pretty much toast since they are welded incorrectly (not centered properly, but welded ON THERE good). So using that subframe is out of the question. The bearings are good, and everything is good on it besides the bushings. Now I soaked both subframes with pb blaster for a couple days, and I still cannot get them out. There are bolts that bolt on the trailing arm to the subframe that will not come out. These are Colorado cars, so no heavy/real rust. Is there something I am missing? I live in Wyoming now and am coming down this weekend, so time is of the essence and I cannot find anything on this subject, like it's just me having this issue. I've even taken a sledge hammer and banged the nut and it will not budge. I broke a 6" c-clamp putting a large socket over the bolt and compressing the nut side. Both subframes are doing this to me. And just my luck that when I decided to do this, no one is parting out any 1gs and the junkyard has no AWD mitsu's. So I'm SOL.
Here is a pic generic pic of the parts I can't remove. The red is the parts I can't remove and the blue are the horribly and ghetto welded subframe "bushings" that rendered my subframe useless. Just my f*kking luck :|
Thanks for your help in advanced guys.
P.S.
And if you say to burn the bushings that are probably stuck on the bolt/nut, I can't as I have no form of replacing them.
