The cup at the top of the shock assembly won't come off? That bolt?

theres no way i let some tard at a shop touch my car. This is why i need to get on good terms with a small shop, and get to be friends, thats the only way i'd trust my car.

i took my car to a mechanic who i know and trust and let him deal with all the rusted bolts that are down there. I'm glad, because the 5th gen rear LCA bolts (where the strut attaches) were seized and he had to burn the whole damn thing out with a torch.

I had one of my rear LCA bolts snap also. It was a bitch to get out, we cut it and somehow managed to get the rest out, and then I had to pound/cut the bushing out with a torch, hammer, and a hacksaw. That sucked. The other side was fine though.
