: Trying to remove the thru-the-bushing bolt on my thrust arms. They seem impossibly stuck, despite using a lot of break free and some large box end wrenches. Any tricks or techniques you can recommend? I'm about ready to use a nut splitter as a last resort.

: Thanks!

Make sure you have the right box wrench on the boly (six sided prefered).

Hit the end of the wrench HARD with a 2# soft faced dead blow hammer. If no-go step up to a 3#.

impact should loosen it OK.
