Seized control arm bolt removal from a rotted control arm.

[@elishaduncan2479]

Great video mane I have the same problem with the seized bolt on my car thanks for the how to video keep up the amazing job.

[@jasonmariani1258]

Wtg buddy! I love it! Got the same exact trouble with 03’ CRV. She’s giving me grief!

[@lovesammy112]

I had this once, I ended up turning the control arm into hot spicy juice, with fire

[@onlyme972]

A thin disk on an angle grinder, cut between the bolt and the mount, easy quick less fuss😊

[@EnriqueRodriguez-q7v]

Cut the bolt itself?

[@EnriqueRodriguez-q7v]

Dealing with this now on a friends accord , bought a new bolt so I’m thinking just cut it on either side and be done with it

[@kaoticmind09]

scared i'm going to cut into the mount....

[@ptcast709]

Funny how I'm seeing this now. I just did this and I came to about the same way of tackling it. I cut the outer bushing in half and removed that then cut the inner one in half til I got to the bolt threads then heat that bushing and held it with a locking pliar and impact the bolt out. All my cutting was done with a dremel. Sometimes gotta use only what you have.

[@barryrenouf3450]

I have new bolts for mine so should I just cut through both ends of it instead of using your method?

[@keizomatsuzaki]

Metal tapping screws to fix the inner and outer rings. Then, turn the bolts to loose. Works?

[@orboakin8074]

Great video, sir. Can I do this same method with my Pontiac g3 20210? I am changing the front shocks and control arms cause it's used and rusted. The bolt is stuck on both arms in this same bushing and I have tried impact gun, breaker bar, penetrating oil and heat. Will this method help? I am a novice mechanic.

I hate having to do this that burning rubber smells so bad. Lol

[@yukonjoe09]

What blade did you cut this with.

[@FireBosspilot]

Use a ballpoint press and press the bolt out, you’ll save the bolt that way.

[@marv4242]

How about using a air hammer to remove the bolt?

@@WrenchingWithKenny it was an 07 and they definitely have been upping the build quality every year …. A friend lived in Korea an said the specter of a war with North Korea kind of affects their thinking about the long term…

[@danielmalloy6093]

Would use PB Blaster several times before attempting or having it done on the bushing and bolt.

[@maciejkaras2072]

How long did it take you to remove this screw? cutting the swing arm was unnecessary. I would cut the screw, which is cheap.

[@glenglene8473]

You can't find the suspension bolts in local hardware stores. You have to go to the dealers and sometimes they don't have them in stock so so you have to wait a day or two. That is why many mechanics try to save the bolts if they can

[@jerrycallo]

@@glenglene8473 I'd think if he can find the other parts that were cut up he could also get the bolts

[@titolove7677]

Thanks for the video

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

@titolove7677 I hope I was able to help. Keep wrenching! Kenny

[@chrishayes5755]

that is NOT a simple job. that's nightmare fuel. without a lift that job is 100% a major PITA. would it kill the factor to put some anti-seize copper lube on those bolts?

[@jerrycallo]

Or stainless sleeves, sure they cost more, but look at all the labor cost with getting seized parts loose.

[@bowhunter9288]

Where's the torch?

[@AMatofFact]

You could have sawzalled the bolt off and replaced just that and the bushing, instead you're billing the customer for a new control arm and all that time saving a $15 bolt. Congratulations.

[@WrenchingWithKenny]

The control arm was rotted in two. Thanks for watching!

[@liamwilson123]

😅.. this guy. See he's never replaced a control arm. The bolts are always the problem.

[@bryancampbell4550]

Wack the bolt

[@kaoticmind09]

haha. want to come to my house and do that? No amount of wacking is working... a clamp doesn't even want to push it out...

[@Nmiguy]

I mean the most important parts, the cuts, you don’t even show happening. Thumbs down sorry!
