Stuck rear knuckle bolt
Any ideas to getting these out? 8lb sledge and PB blaster haven't worked so far. Really trying to avoid using heat because I dont have new bushings on hand or replacement bolts.... If I remove the control arm does that make anything easier or maybe I could just bring both pieces together to the machine shop... I'm just trying to get them out to have new bearings pressed in
F New Jersey and their massive amounts of road salt!

So Finally got it after a few hours of going back and forth working on it and then coming back into the office to help customers (I get paid for this?)
What ultimately worked for me was A LOT of PB Blaster, Heated it up with the Oxy/Ace torch, more PB Blaster, and a 10LB Sledge hitting it in beast mode.
Needless to say everything will be going back in with a ton of Anti-Seize
