Default Need Help! Removing Rear Toe Arms

Hey guys! I need help Im completely stumped on what is left to remove my stock rear toe arms.

I have a 92 Lexus. I went to Firestone and got a lifetime alignment. They told me they were able to align my fronts but not my rears cause the bolts on the toe arms are seized. They told me impact the old ones off (just in case they snap the bolt, they're not responsible and it'll save me money)

I've taken everything off. But I cant seem to get the seized bolts off. Ive soaked it in wd-40, snapped two ratchets (one being a Craftsman), impacted em, used a hammer, and still nothing!

Any advice from anyone? I wanna drive my car..

Try a longer braker bar, if the bolt brakes you will just have to either have to punch it out or drill it out, the. Buy a new one from Toy dealer mkiv supra bolts

I had the same problem with my 92 sc300. I tried heat and PB blaster. I had to buy new bolts because I ended up cutting the bolts.

my lcas bolts were siezed on the front and rear of the car. it was annyoing because they have a built in washer/aligner type of thing so i hat to cut them out

if it breaks and you cant get it out your going to have to put in a new bushing and sleeve because the old bolt will be stuck in there

When an impact can't get bolts and nuts off I pull out the longest breaker bar I can get my hands on!
