So i made a start today dismantle the front suspension.
This bugger one is in rock solid, tried abusing the housing with a hammer, tried to turn the bold, nothing seems to work.
Sprayed with wd40 couple times.
Are there more options to get it loose without distroying the bold and drill it out?

Once you've done a few they get super easy.Originally Posted by kilian tuning

What tends to happen is the bolt is slightly bent at the split. So just removing the nut and trying to hammer it out is effective trying to drive a bent bolt through a straight hole. Easiest method is to use a hacksaw and cut the bolt through at the split. Then thread the nut on and as you tighten it , it will pull the now cut threaded piece through. You will have to put washers or a spacer under the nut once you get to the shank of the bolt but it only takes a few tries. Once this is out, you now have a clear shot at punching out the remaining part of the bolt. As the bolt is no longer bent/pinched it will punch out easy, even if it's corroded. Your welcome.
