...I've tried to remove the strut wedge bolt with no sucess.
This buggar has refused to show any kind of progress after the drift with a BFH, and a 5 min air drift, that has mucked up the first few threads. I am about to get out the propane torch and heat it up, but I thought that I'd ask you guys first, before it becomes a major surgery and costly recover. Any help is appreciated...Dave |

...well as you can see in the photo, I have lost the battle, but not the war. I think part of the problem may be that the loose parts are trying to move around too much. I think I'd pull the ball joint out of the A-Arm and put the strut in a good solid vise. You probably know already that there are no threads in the strut, so other than losing a nice place to hit, having the end threads broken off the pin is no big deal.
