Returd

I broke my 24" breaker bar on the rear lower control arm bolt.

I then cut the rear facing nut off the bolt and had the stub showing. I beat on the stub to try to drive the bolt out, still no go, wouldn't move at all..

How do I get this bolt out?

Order a new one from the dealer and cut the old one off seems to be the most common solution.

thanks, I figured that was the answer but thought I'd check

Are you replacing the control arm? Bolt is froze in sleeve of bushing. Take a slicing wheel on a grinder and go up between arm and mount bracket, be careful to not cut your mount and slice bolt off on each side of arm. This will allow you to drop arm out of mount and pull the bolt ends out of mount. If using arm over then re-bush arm and buy a new bolt. I bought Supra ones and they worked fine.

I pulled arms from a SC400 in a scrap yard today. I ended up pulling the rear cross member. The yard doesn't allow grinders so I cut the rears at home. Cutting the forward side of the rear bolt is pretty dicey. Using a 4 1/2" grinder I couldn't get much bite. Since the cross member didn't matter I busted out the 7" and cut into the mount to get at the bolt, epic.

My driver arm bolts look pretty good but I'm going to attempt to pull the bolts and lather up with anti seize so i don't have to go through this when the time comes..

I checked my driver today and found the rear lower control arm bolts to be removable. I marked position of the camber bolts, removed, brushed the bushing bores out and scotch brited the bolts. I then gave the bolt shanks, threads and contact surfaces of the camber washers a liberal coating of copper anti seize.

I plan on checking in a year and will likely make this an annual maintenance item.

Way easier than cutting bolts, risking damage to the cross member.
