Subject: Re: HELLLLP! Frozen rear shock lower mount bolts


I had this problem once before and it took a while to fix it. First, I ordered new bushings. Then I carefully located the distance of fuel lines and tank from the bushing (put up fireblanket if necessary) Then I held the torch on the rubber bushing till it burned/melted away. This took some time. Also do it outside the fumes stink. David wrote: > 1990 9000T > > The lower bolts holding the rear shocks are frozen into the rubber control > arm bushings.
