I was trying to do the washer trick to one side of my rear camber and 2 of the bolts are seized to the body and I was wondering if anyone knew a good trick to use to get these off or a mechanic to go to that could do it cheap/fast. I actually need both sides unseized. Thanks in advance :goodjob:

You can try putting some pb blaster to it. A really good penetrant found at most auto parts stores. If that doesnt work you gonna have to take it somewhere. Have you tried a breaker bar? I took my elcamino to meineke they cut the bolt off in like 10min.

try a breaker bar like the guy said above. it should take it off, if not, it will break it off.

yea breaker bar , because you have two choices , break it or cut it or take a chance and just break it loose with the breaker bar , what do you have to lose

i'm copying probably many people

1. PB Blaster (let is soak)
2. Heat (not a lighter but an actual torch)

impact gun has much less chance of breaking the bolt than the breaker bar with hand tools does....go that route if possible....you dont want the bolt to break.....

Are you using the breaker bar correctly? I may have misinterpreted what you said, but you broke a wrench with your breaker bar?

/\/\..... I figured he meant he broke a ratched.....crap...if you break a WRENCH.... that is some serious siezed bolt! Or your using a too small wrench.

or a knock off pos wrench. a breaker bar should do the trick. both the impact gun and breaker bar can snap the bolt loose...or snap it off. it's going to be luck. i'd say get ahold of a I.G. and see if it can break apart a lot of the rust.

Try PB Blaster, if that doesnt work Coca Cola Classic should do the trick. As said before, get a big breaker bar. Use an extension on the breaker bar if needed.

"If it doesn't fit...force it. If It breaks...it was meant to be upgraded."

if you can get an impact you should have it on reverse for a while, then put it back on tighten, then reverse again and so on (sounds weird but it works). If that doesn't work use heat.
