...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 |

Think about taking the lower ball joint nut off....use a big pipe wrench to remove the lower nut then you can take the strut over to a vise/drill press.
You can also bring it to a hydraulic press to push out the pin. Rich |
