#273664 has anyone else ever broken this bolt? its never happened to me on any car i lowered. it broke on both sides, and ive only tried beating it out with a punch but not to much luck.
i dont wanna put heat on it cause of that bushing in the control arm soo is there anything else i could try?

#273676 yeah, this happens to everybody. Just spray some wd or pb blaster and let it sit for a little bit, then beat the bolt out.

a small sludge hammer works great

if that doesn't work, take it to a machine shop.
