Re: Rear trailing arm bolts 140-160 74

Thanks. This is indeed the problem (trailing arm still attached to the rear axle, need to remove the bolt to get it out). I was hoping to save the bolt (hey, so I'm cheap), and might try the penetrating oil that Ira seems to have had success with, but reading your reply I guess this will turn out to be a good opportunity to try my new 1020 watt (that would be 9.5 amp in 110volt country) angle grinder. If I had a torch I'ld probably be able to heat it sufficiently to break the rust bond, but as I don't...

Thanks again,

Bram
