I had a lot of trouble with the front control arm bolts and had to cut them off.. am I going to have the same trouble with the rear springs? I don't see a way to get the back of the bolt if this is the case.
I have been soaking the back of the bolt for a few days now and I just tried to go out there and break it free with a 1/2" breaker bar, no lock, so I put a jack underneath the breaker, still no luck, the breaker bar was actually starting to bend..

I thought I was going to be able to drive this jeep tomorrow but it is not looking so good right now, what are my options? Any tips?

they may be frozen in the bushing...a impact would be great.

the Blow's a impact creat's is what does most of the work for breaking something loose.

I really had to work feverishly to get mime to come lose. I ended up taking the shackle off and blow Torched the he'll out of it in my shop and it finally came loose. Good luck.

pn an heat on the nut then hammer the bolt out.
I had no problems with mine they loodked bad but came out mint.

OK, so they were.'t too bad.. only one was seized in the bushing so I burned out enough of the bushing to get a vice-grip in there and heated the bushing real hot with mapp gas, then I latched the vice-grip on the bushing and cranked away, it took a lot of effort but eventually it came out.. I damaged the first 2 or 3 threads of the weld nut so I had to go get a tap, if anyone needs one for future reference it is M14x2.00
