Seized top rear shock bolts was created by barkclark
Battled twice with my rear shock top bolts trying to fit a lift kit. Not for budging. Seized solid.

Tried hitting it with heat. Tried my bolt remover socket but as yous will know its tight for space even with a socket.

No joy.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Get under it every day with release oil and give it a sharp tap with a hammer after spraying, take care not to damage the bolt head, your just looking to give it a mechanical shock.

Do that for a week and have another go, more of the same and hope it works...... drilling those out would be a nightmare.

Got at it with WD40 for 2 weeks. Maybe need something better? I don't think drilling out would work at all. Really struggling for ideas.
