Have fun with that. I may be putting new control arms on the XJ this weekend. I'm hoping it goes smoothly. But since it's my XJ it wont.

I've always just sawed through the bolts and done it that way.. normally not too many problems...

You don't happen to know what size they are so I can stop by the hardware store before I cut them off.

lca bolts are 9/16th bolts if i remember right...i know the stock ones are actually metric, but i replaced my broken/sawed ones with 9/16" grade 8. I cant remember what the tops were, i had to use 10.9 metric bolts though...i wanna say they were a 10mm thread size and 15mm head, but i could be wrong

14mm is the actual lca thread size...i was reading and some guys cant get 9/16 to fit...they worked just fine on my rig though

yeah LCA bolts are 14mm or 9/16... if you can't make 9/16 grade8 fit just slide a 9/16 drill bit through the bushing sleeves real slow while it's spinning.
Honestly though, even up here in the rust belt I've had good luck getting LCA bolts out. If you can't get them out by hand use a 3/8 drive extension as a punch and get out your persuasion mallet.

Cool thanks for the tips. Looks like tomorrow is going to be the day for that. Depending on how my wife feels. This headache is taxing on me big time.

Luckily this is my last day (night) at work for the weekend. Then the part time job kicks in for the next 4 days, but at least it's on call so I can still get things done.
stay safe Mac, lots of drunk idiots out this weekend.
the one nice thing was wheeling on a Thursday. It's kind of nice to have the park to yourself.

Was not on a boat but a fire truck for a parade. Pretty funny when our auction was over about 6pm and driving the truck back to the station and was flashed with hard nips and all thanks to the cold weather. Temp today was 65
