I have removed the rear end from my rig and refurbing it off the car (rust removal, paint, brakes, etc). For the life of me, I cannot get the panhard bolt removed. I have done the following:
I am considering:
- Soaked it in ATF/acetone (poor man's Kroil) mix
- Heated it (A LOT)
- Hit it with the 500lb impact (the bolt is starting to round) - even tried to tighten it to see if it will break loose.
- Hit it with a breaker bar with 5ft pipe as extension (which broke off the head of the breaker bar)
I am considering:
- Sawzall - I dont know how I would drill and tap the old bolt out. Don't know the dimension of that bolt, so dont know the size of tap
- Keep going with the activities above, praying that the bolt will not completely round off
- Cussing
