I snapped the head of the bottom strut bolt and rather than drive like that i welded the broken end of the bolt to the strut so it wouldn't move. I've tried a few different compounds to free up the bolts but i believe they are "fused" inside the metal sleeve of the bushings. All three bolts on the lower control arm (upper, lower, and bottom strut) are seized....completely. The only way to get anything done is to use a zip disk to cut each side of the bushings to release them from their purches, hence the need for new bushings. I'm able to get some black energy suspension bushings for the upper and lower mounts for the control arm but i'm having a hard time finding aftermarket bushings for the bottom of the strut.
My previous job was in metal fabrication and lucky i left on good terms and still have access to all my old facilities, this includes the press which as MrFatbooty stated will definitly be necessary.
