Thanks for the ideas guys. I'm on lunch break right now, gonna go out this evening after work and get that fecker out. I got buncha new sawzall blades, new tip for torch and anger <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> it'll come out by dark <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> I think that bottle jack idea sounds good though - gonna try that first <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

there are very few obstacles that cannot be overcome with a sawzall, heat, hammers, bottle jacks, and anger.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

yay! I got it out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I tried jack, torch and sawzall - none were working at all. So i got smart:

I put breaker bar on bolt, and turned the control arm until I saw the bushing skip around the bolt. i was then able to punch it out about an inch, until the threads got hung up on bushing again.

I then used sawzall to cut the head/oval thingy off the bolt, and was then able to punch it out the oppostie direction.


Thanks for the help guys!

i had the same problem removing a kit i purchased used. I am attempting to install it on my truck and i know i will have this problem. Ill try different things if the bolts are stuck. If i have to cut them, where to get new cam bolts.
