mine was froze up where the adjustment cam mounts to the unibody in front off the tire.I broke the end off mine and bent the bracket to remove the trailing arm.I took a 5/8 masonary drill bit put the trailing arm in a vise and drilled out the adjustment cam.Straightened the mount and installed a new cam with a ton of anti seize on it.

Thanks for reply. From everything I have read looks like kinda a pain, but doable. Some replace the whole arm, some just parts that are froze up.
