Just in case someone ever has this question. I decided to replace my rear springs and struts this weekend since the last owner lowered the car with a torch. well, the bolts all broke off and the bolts were frozen into the bushings. I had only 1 day for this project. If you ever end up with bolts broken in bushings that arent blown out you can rip out the bushings using a pitman arm puller. It fits perfectly and presses the center of the bushing out so you can get a hacksaw in there to cut the steel ring out. This tip should keep you from attempting to burn out a bushing near your gas tank. Just wanted to share my misery.
