If you can't get the nut off, it may be time for a dremel and a stack of cut-off wheels.
Or, if you can just grind off the right parts of the base flange (of the nut), you might be able to get in there with a nut splitter. |
Hey thanks for your reply! I'm stuck and have no idea what to do! The other side of the toe arm is bent to shit I can't put it back in. The bolt won't tighten. It spins freely. I ripped the rubber thing out and there is a ball it's spinning on loosely. I legit don't know what to do anymore
. I've soaked it with pb blaster. It can't be that hard to open. How do mechanics do it??
I was thinking of using bolt cutters but only a small one fits and it doesn't cut it.
I tried:
Pb blaster, drilling it, hitting it a couple times with a hammer, using impact gun on it for 20 mins straight, torque wrench, bolt cutters.
Any other ideas that might work?
Thanks for your reply again
