suggestions for removing suspension bolts?
so ive been ripping out my suspension to change out for my lift and the bolts holding the front end in and the bolts on the brackets not to mention the radius arms are all stuck. suggestions? thanks in advance.

Look at getting some Seafoam Deep Creep, it is a penetrating oil kind of like PB blaster, and if you soak the bolts a few times throughout a day it will help.
|
Deep Creep is some good stuff. Give it time to work. If that doesn't get em loosened up you might have to apply some heat.
|
thanks guys, can i just get deep creep at a parts store?
|
1 part acetone mixed with 1 part ATF, works better than ANY penetrating oil/lube.

Of course... he means a relation of 1:1, and 1 qt. of acetone has exactly the same volume as 1 qt. of atf (supposing they both measure exactly 1/4 of a gallon, as they should). So it just means equal volumes of each fluid.

^^This, and you can get acetone just about anywhere, hardware store, auto parts store or hell you can steal it from your wife! haha

Nail polish remover is made of acetone.

I had to use all of the above and a 3 foot breaker bar on my front end swore i was gonna twist the radius arm in half before the nuts broke loose... they didnt though.. my advice use more force even if you break a bolt or radius arm ( dont yhink tgats possible) you are replacing this stuff anyways..
|
well i got everything broke loose today except the bolts through the pieces of the axle that go into the pivot points. the rubber has the bolts are seized up and i cant get them to break from the rubber even with the nuts off of them
|
PB Blaster is another good one
|
And Kano Kroil, i think that's the name... apparently it's the best one around.
