Trick to these LCA bolts?

[OverlandZJ]

Working on swapping in new OEM lower CA's on the ZJ, i'm unmfamiliar with these style bolts with the adjusting cam, do the newer XJ's use these?

The bolt has a flat on one side, i cant seem to hammer it through the bushing sleeve. The other end of the CA at body is disconnected. Any tricks to this?.. other than grinding the bolts head and protruding section?

XJ's never used cam bolts. Are you using the original ZJ cam bolts or XJ CA bolts ?

OK, wasnt sure. I'm thinking the bolt is just frozen in the sleeve, but being unfamiliar i was wondering if i was missing something.

I have a replacement ZJ bolt.. i'm just gonna take a sawzall to it just alongside the bushings.

Thanks.

Got it done, sawzall through on both sides of the bushing. I'll get another cam bolt before i attempt the other control arm.

i would have just smacked it with a mini sledge. im sure you tried that though.
