Hi,

Is there a trick to getting the rear suspension CAM adjustment bolts out of the two lower control arms (two per side)? I have the 19mm nuts off, but the bolts don't want to come out. Even with significant persuasion...

Thanks

there might be the cars weight on it try jacking it up on the axle then lift the control arm up afterwards

Cars up on jack stands so there's no weight on the suspension. Tried jacking the suspension up to varying degrees. Tried the BFH too... Used an air chisel as well. Pipe wrench to twist the #1 while hammering / chiseling etc... even tried to get a pitman on it but there's nothing good to grab onto... I found some Lexus manual instructions for removing the rear lowers arms and it says: "unbolt the arms and remove the cam bolts". Simple as that! WTF!!!???

Has anyone else had problems getting these out?

i haven't had an issue on this car in particular but i have had a binded bolt on my q's suspension. ended up taking a lift, an air hammer on one side, and a pry bar on the other.
