How To Remove The Rear Shock Bolt?, The One On The Trailing Arm Options

[Spoke]

The nut comes off ok but the driver side rear shock bolt on the trailing arm is rusted solid and I can't get it off. Tried some heat, liquid wrench, hammer+drift (made the biggest impression on my hand when I missed...), and a pipe wrench. The pipe wrench sorta rounded the head a bit, but no movement? How do I remove this?

I was going to remove the trailing arm (with shock attached) and see if my local machine shop can press it off. Not sure if they can or it would damage the trailing arm.

Also thought about grinding off the head, removing the shock, then taking it to the machine shop for pressing.

HELP!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

Thanks for the tips. About "AeroKroil", can I get this from Pep Boys or other local auto supply, or is this mail order only? If ordering off the web, got any place you like? About the GABH, it scares me to pound the bolt with the trailing arm on the car for fear of breaking something I didn't want to fix like the half shaft or bushings. Do I take the trailing arm off of the car to pound? Thanks, Spoke

another decent thread penetrant is PB Blaster..you should be able to find something local that comes in a spray can.

the trailing arms can take quite a bit of abuse...can you take a picture of the offending parts???
