John/Horace Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Decent impact gun, vibration helps a lot. If no oxyacetylene, I like yellow MPS gas with regular torch.Wont get cherry red but often will do the job. Looks rusted in. Or break it loose with a big Johnson bar after soaking with penetrating oil. Watch those threads if hitting with a hammer. detroitgrip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they both have a hole in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankster Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Cut it out with a Sawzall and demo blade. Then replace with a new cam bolt, cam washer and rear toe link. I did this last spring couldn't get the cam bolt out. detroitgrip and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitgrip Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ok I'll check out the crack. I think it's just the top layer flaking off. I hope that's fine. If it's a real crack i assume the car is totalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Looks like it, with an ex centric adjustment that locks against sheet metal lip. Mark where hole is, might need to go back in same spot. Spray penetrating lube into the holes, should run in behind and help free up. Try a cold chisel and tap it behind washer so it starts to separate from bolt. detroitgrip and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Crack could be mig welded if necessary. May only be scale, surface rust. detroitgrip and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
