i know that this has been asked before about bolts stuck in the sleeve, but i need some advice on my situation that im in, MODS you can delete this after tonight
alright, i got one shackle on.
now, as i moved over to the passenger side, i expected it to go smoothly (as the second time through usually does) and it did, until i got again to the upper shackle bolt.
i have unthreaded pretty much all the way now, but it still isnt clearing the lip on the threaded area. (by this i mean it is unthreaded, but when i try to pry the shackle, it wont go anywhere because the point of the bolt is still in the hole. AND to make matters worse, it wont thread back in. I KNOW THAT IT IS STUCK IN THE SLEEVE just to clarify.
i need this for tomorrow (its not imperative, but its something that i would really like to happen) so my question is, what can i do.
id really like to keep the bolt in tact (so that i can at least put it back together tonight and not leave it jacked up...)
but if that is not possible, should i just get a sawzall and cut where both the bushing ends are, then just remove the other pieces (or let them fall out)
Thanks
Travis
