This is the damn bolt

 

This is the drivers side bolt same thing stuck it just turns and won't come out

 

Cut the bolt in half and push it out with a tie rod puller.

 

I don't have a tie rod puller. I thought about cutting it and then drilling it out what do you think

 

Prolly hardened steel... go rent a puller from AZ or something and do it... Or try heating it up and then hammering it out... its splined so its gonna be hard to get out. Either beat or pull

 

same thing happened on my jeep, i just drilled it out took all of 15 munites......not that hard.......

 

High pressure air hammer did tbd trick on mine.

 

i cut mine flush at the mount and used the tie rod puller

 

What did you use to cut the bolt

 

Got a grinder? Grind the allen head off and knock it out with a drift, most times the heat from grinding will expand the mount itself and allow it to pop loose.

Theres not much holding it in there if the bolt's spinning, might come out if you hit it nice and square with a hammer also.

 

same thing happened with mine. air chisle is ur friend. i used a torch for about 20 seconds. then hit it with air. popped right out.

 

Very good ideas and i tried beating the heck out of the bolts and I bent the mount just a little but nothing major I'll fix that. Im going to cut both ends of the bolts with a sawzall and drill that s.o.b

I used a pitman arm puller , works great
