Ok so I finally decided to install my lift (RC 4.5 kit full leafs, CAD brackets, SYE and DS). With 3 days of complete frustration, 3 sawzall blades and 2 cutting wheels later I got the front part of the lift installed. Despite those pesky control arm bolts that siezed in the bushings metal sleeve. I get to the back thinking it'll be a quick and easy job, and it was until i got to the right rear shackle and of course my luck the bolt siezed in the metal sleeve inside the bushing. So I need some help in how to break it loose without cutting if possible. I've already bashed the hell out of it with a hammer and a punch and to my despair it just bends the shackle a little. Any Ideas?

 

if your talkin about the shack/leaf bolt you can remove the shackel from the jeep and try to bang out the bolt with it on the ground. also try bracing it with some metal pipe or something. new shackels are easy to come by even at a parts store.

 

Never knew that installing an RC lift kit can be this frustrating... Hope you can find a way to get it done soon...

 

i agree and if the bolt wont come outta the schackle go to the jy

 

get a penetrating spray its called BLAST, oil or wd40 will not work on this prob.

 

PB blaster is the best thing ive ever used, and freegdr is right WD40 and oil are not made for this they are not a penetrater
