I need to replace my rear upper control arms in my 08 LR3. I have the driver's side arm out. On the passengers side the camber adjusting bolt is seized in the ball joint at the knuckle. No amount of pounding with a big hammer has gotten it to move. We cut away the arm so nothing is in the way.
Any ideas on how to get his out without complete disassembly and pressing it out? Thanks

 

Is the nut seized on the bolt or the bolt seized to the knuckle?

 

I had to cut the bolt and then use a punch to knock the remaining bolt piece out.

 

I had to cut the bolt and press out the bushing as the bolt had seized to it.

I used a ball joint press to do it on car without completely removing the knuckle.

 

first air hammer and wd 40 or the sort. next. torch... cant be stuck if its liquid metal...

 

Reciprocating saw between the bush and the chassis bracket and cut it out.

 

This is not the Bush at the chassis bracket. This is at the top ball joint on the knuckle which carries the wheel bearing. We did have to cut the bolt at the center bushing on both sides.
Anyhow, we did get the camber adjusting bolt out. We used a pickle fork on the bolt head side to put tension on the bolt and then my brother hit the bolt with a large hammer while I pushed a 24 pound chunk of steel against the knuckle to minimize its movement. The bolt was amazingly rusty.

 

Ah i missed the camber bit.

 

you may have to use the pickle fork on the ball joint except it will destroy the ball joint so you will need to put a new one on it. Howevr, you may need a ball joint on that control arm anyway

 

Start by applying a generous amount of penetrating oil (such as PB Blaster or WD-40) to the bolt and allow it to soak for at least 15-30 minutes. If the bolt remains stuck, try using a breaker bar or an impact wrench for additional leverage.
