Yea good luck with the lca's. The last set a friend had to do he ended up taking the whole lca off and getting the spring/shock out that way. But it messes up your alignment.

You guys must of never heard of PB blaster. Best shit to remove rusted/seized bolts. I use it all the time and let me tell you it fuckin works wonders.

Here's some tips to help remove seized/rusted bolts instead of muscling it. Thought it might be helpful and help you in the long run.

Excessive muscle will just break off a bolt and make things worse.
Apply plentiful amounts of PB, give it some time to soak in.
Gently rock the nut or bolt, this can help break the bond.
A torch will be useful if the PB alone will not work. BE CAREFUL! The PB may burn and so may many other things surrounding the nut/bolt. When using a torch try to heat either the nut or the bolt but not both. After heating immediately try to loosen

i have like a case of PB at my house .. but it does not always work when the bolts have rusted to the inside of the bushing ... thats usually the problem

never said it always works, i was just simply stating use PB instead of trying all kinds of muscling and other stuff since that was not mentioned.
