hi
Im in need of help. Im trying to remove my lower arm b at the rear, the bolt that goes through the sub will not come out. It looks as if there is a inner flange stopping it from coming out. Ive upload a pic to so you can see what i mean.
Cheers

It's a toe adjustment bolt, the nut end is facing the back end of the car and the bolt end faces the front, these get really seized up over time including the eccentric washers, lots of lube, heat and a breaker bar on either end should crack it off, wire brushing first will help the penetration, there shouldn't be anything in the way stopping it from coming out.

I am pretty sure I had to get these bolts chopped off my car once, because they were so corroded. Bet to get a set of new ones from Honda.

The nut is a self locker so if you use fire you'll have to replace it for sure, i got away without it just used lots of lube and leverage, once out I dumped them in some Bilt Hamber Deox C, they came out clean as a whistle and were perfectly reusable.
