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.
