Yet another ZJ question

[sullju]

I'm trying to remove the rear track bar on the ZJ and I've hit a wall. The nut is, I'm assuming, welded to the control arm mount. The bolt is torx and it's now getting stipped out. I've allready used a whole can of penetrating oil and it still won't move. Anyone have any ideas? It's a T55 torx and I can find any bolt extracter to fit.

I got the bolt out, took a BFH and a pipe wrench.

if you can do it with the weight of the jeep on the tires, it will take the load off of the track bar. otherwise a good strong impact wrench should do it. the nut is welded to the axle housing but not on the frame.

Thanks for the tip. I realized it was welded after I took the UCA off. Oh well, 3 beers and alot of swearing later I finally got it off.
