I have a 97 Lude with a tokiko shocks and dropped 2.5 , i hit a pot hole over the week end and my shocks pop through my hood , my friend tried to help me to take of the front strut , when we used a impact gun , the bolt holding the fork just broke in half in, the worst part of it , the other half is still in, and its seazed . how can i take this bolt out ?

 

your probally going to have to drill it out post a pic if you can

 

common problem here....wishbone bolt seized........you need to heat it up...but you cant bc there is a rubber bushing there that would melt. then you would need a new control arm or poly bushings. your best bet is to take a "wizzer/grinder" and cut off right next to the bushing. then drop the control arm...then drill out the bolt/stud. it is a pian yes...especially when you are doing it in your driveway or whatnot.
so...either poly bushings or cutting....you choose...good luck

 

thanks

 

when putting in the new bushing , do i need to have that press in or can i use a vise and grease to put it in .

 

if it is poly...youould use a vise...getting the old one out would be the hardest part....they dont burn away easily...or press out easily. wiht ply bushing you could just grease it in with supplied lube (suplied lube isnt greasy...more sticky if anyhting) then slide the sleeve through to lock it in place.
