Help...

[rxm6]

I'm trying to install a stage I lower tie bar on my friends I30 and I cannot, for the life of me, get the driver side control arm bolt loose. I've used WD-40, PB Blaster, and I'm using a wrench that could be considered a weapon. I strained, grunted, and cussed at the bolt for at least 30 minutes before I gave up. My car gave me difficulty...but nothing like this bolt. It's mocking me. Have you guys had this difficulty on these bolts? What did you do?

Try an impact wrench!

I can't, the transmission pan is in the way, I have no room for a ratchet only a good ol' fashion wrench.

have you considered using a torch ? heat it up and then try to loosen it, should work like a charm once the metal becomes softer. Im not saying make it red hot, but heat it up quite a bit. Tell me if i helped at all, im new.

Its hard to give advice because i dont know how much space you have to work with. I had to use this method on my dad's boat last summer and it worked perfectly.

Got heat?

Ok...I've got my Zippo ready!

Seriously though...I'll give that a try
