I am removing my 8.8 from another 91 mustang 5.0 , these bolts have not been touched in 19 years since the only mods are kaufman LCA and poly bushings, I never had this much trouble with mine
I have removed everything ( shocks, brake line to chassis, and quad shocks,driveshaft)
except the damn lower and upper control arms,
So far I have removed the outer nut from the passenger LCA mount to axle
however the bolt will not budge !!! I am able to turn the bolt but it will slide,hammer,puller, slide hammer off, or even sledge hammer out. I dont want to use heat since Im so near fuel, but I might have to.
I think the bolt is seized to the metal tube in the LCA,
In frustration I moved on to the UCA, I am able to rotate the bolt with my elec impact , but the nut is frozen, I am going to put together a longer lever, I'll let you know if I lift up the car.. Anyone know the size of the nut on the UCA bolts,.
Any suggestions would be great
I need air tools!!! Grrrr
