that wont work in this case, all you can do is drill it out, grind/cut the welded bolt end off and replace with new hardware (hardned steel only)

I dont think I can fit a grinder in that little recess its not very wide

well where it's verry corroded, i would try drilling first and see how much of the weld still remains holding that to the subframe. i had just a sliver of steel that was holding mine on so i was able to just rip if off with pliers. if that dosn't work than i don't know mang. good luck.

edit: after you drill it and are able to get the lca out, just bring it to a machine shop and they can drill that welded bolt on a drill press with a larger bit or if you have a drill press, DIY

the LCA is already out
the nut(which has a piece of the bolt stuck in it) is welded to the subframe

A machine shop can take care of it if you cant, check the phone book.

I just put socket on mine, and put some ass into it. The welds broke, and the nut was off (with what was left of the bolt)

thanks a lot buddy!! :cheers:
this method took me a big 45 seconds
if anyone has this problem, the nut is only held on to the sub frame by like 3 small spot welds

I broke off my front inner control arm bolt in the nut, now THAT was fun to fix!

glad to hear that you got it off. Let us know what you end up using to secure the lca back on with.

just nuts and bolts
