So I was pulling apart my rear suspension and everything was going smoothly.
I got to one of the camber alignment bolts and the f**ker wont come out. It is seized to the crush tube of the bush.
And to make matters worse the bush is torn and the whole crush tube spins with the bolt.
Tried putting some vice grips around the crush tube to try and crack it but have had no success.
Any tips before I take an angle grinder to the bolt and drill it out?

Same problem as Matt, get a reciprocating saw and cut it out and get a new bolt, it's the only way...

Clearly you guys don't have big enough hammers. A good whack with a sledge hammer would get that!

Pounded it with a large lump hammer. Not budging.

Like stated, cut it out, we were absolutely smashing the c**t, even drilled a hole through the sleeve to spray wd40

Got a reciprocating saw from bunnings for $45
Cut the bolt out. Had a bit of trouble with one of the toe adjustment bolts, But managed to hammer it out.
Will need some new bolts as pretty much all of them are rusted up pretty badly.

blood makes for a good lubricant when using the saw

So how couldn't get the bolt out with a hammer, but once you cut the bolt you could?
