Re: Lower Control Arms

I need help. Caked in blaster tried heat. Put a jack on the bolt putt the weight of the front end on the bolt. Nothing this thing is frozen

Re: Lower Control Arms

I would keep the weight off the bolt then try to get it out, 5lb sledge hammer?

Re: Lower Control Arms

Give it a really good hit with the hammer it will loosen if not you will likely need a joint fork to pop it loose.

Re: Lower Control Arms

I did almost this exact same thing on a 1993 Nissan 240sx... Friend smoked a curb doin' 40, bent the hell out of his lower control arm...

My best advice is to unbolt the front assembly, everything around the ball joint and whatnot... prop it up on a jack, cinder block, something... then give it a damn good hit with a big *** hammer.

It took us a decent hour to get it off... we snapped a ball joint separator (forged steel my ***), wasted a can of PB, and were really frusterated... But seriously, just give it a good solid smack with a hammer.
