Track bar bolt
You know that bolt that ties the track bar to the axle? That **** is stuck. The nut is off, but the bolt WILL NOT slide out. I've tried prying it out. I've tried melting it out. I've tried drilling it out (which is taking forever). I might just cut the track bar and the bolt. Any ideas?

Just encountered the same issue on Friday. If you have access to an air ratchet, wiggle the track bar up/down side to side while ratcheting the bolt out.
Oh yea, pb blaster is helpful too!
Good luck!

Too much tension on it. Unbolt the other end of track bar...
Or put a screw driver behind head of bolt and pry.
Cutting or attempting to burn anything is very unnecessary.
