Help! S13 FLCA Bolt Won't Budge - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I've replaced my FLCA on my S13 once before. I don't care about the control arm that is on there now because I have a new arm with new joints. I disconnected the tension rod, sway bar linkage, etc. I tapped the side of the steering knuckle, no luck. I tried tapping the bolt, no luck. I even lubricated it with liquid wrench. I do not know what to try next. And by tap, I mean used a huge hammer and went to work, and had no luck. If anybody can shed any light, much appreciated.

Pb buster, impact gun, and a torch if worse comes to worse drill it out and get a new bolt
