<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/110899/upright.jpg"></center><p>Everyone, I need some technical advice on how to remove the bolt from the horizontal camber adjustment arm (name?). Note the pic. I started removing the bolt that connects the upright to the horizontal camber arm while it was still on the car, however, the nut which holds it on started to come off and then got stuck on some corrosion on the end of the bolt. Now the bolt spins freely and I cannot tighten or loosen this nut/bolt. As far as I can tell there is no way to get two wrenches on this bolt. I tried to use vise grips to pinch the shaft of the bolt to no avail...it slips.

I ended taking the horizontal camber arm off altogether from the frame as you can see in the pic. Anybody have some experience here on how to proceed?

Thanks

That is the only way you'll take it off, apart from cutting the nut in half, which is possible, although you may mark the threads slightly.

Thanks, I give that a try tomorrow!

and a pickel fork, the idea is to keep wieght on it, (u can compress it with a jack under the control arm) and take off the bolt, and then wedge a pickel fork in there and smack the end of the fork with a big hammer....

but now you're gonna have to use a vice and some leverage somehow....most likely you will need a pickel fork still. ($10 from autozone)
