whats up guys. trying to put in my rancho struts. and the bolt is just free spinning in the bushing. has anybody elce had this issue/problem, if so what did you do to get the bolt out? im a mechanic and have tried hammering it out. using my impact and pry-bar. and everything elce that i could think of. just seeing if any of you other guys have had this issue?

 

good luck, I hear it's just constant beating the **** out of it, lots of PB Blaster.

 

Sounds like you have the wonderful stuck bolt in the rubber bushing.

Lots of PB blaster or this new stuff called "Jerk Off" <-- not kidding, a pin air hammer on one side, an impact on the other. It will eventually come out.

 

The shop had a hell of a time with mine and it cost me an extra 4 hours in labor. They just pounded on it with a hammer. By the time it came out, the whole bolt was mushroomed over so they had to cut the tip off. Get a case of beer, a few buddies, and release some stress!

 

Not trying to hi-jack but I need new struts, ranchos or sensa tracs? I don't have air tools-do it my self? I heard daystars make it real difficult? Good luck with your install whitedak, let us know how it turns out

 

like i always say!! you can fight me and **** me off all you want but in the end i will always win!! i finally got tired of hitting it with a hammer. and pulled out my air hammer!! lets just say yeah its out!! lol
