Replacing Rear Tie bar problem

[Frankp2112]

Hi,

I have been renewing the suspension on the boxster. I think its orginal.

Today I moved onto the rears.

The control arms went fine.

Then I went to do the tie bar. All the nuts came undone but the bolt is seized into the bush.

I tried turing it and wd 40 and heat. I now have the bolt turning  but its still connected to the rubber bush si the who assemby is turning. You dont have access to give it a good hit with a hammer.

Any suggestions on how to free the bolt fromthe bush bearing in mind there is limited access and the rubber is now turning with the bolt.

Thanks

Frank

Reciprocating saw and cut through it is what I had to do

Hi,

Any particular brand of saw - did you use special blades or standard metal ones?

thanks

I have an Erbauer 240v saw I bought from screwfix. Standard metal blade will be ok and you will probably go through a couple. I did use a special blade and it cut through easily but can't remember for the life of me what it was. I'll do some checking!!
