ZMANALEX Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 They can be tight, so use plenty WD40 or similar and get a spade chisel in between the top of the arm and the chassis to break the seal. Never had to cut one off yet and I have removed dozens. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 When you pry it again try giving it a tap with a rubber/nylon mallet at the same time to see if it shocks it a bit to start it moving off. . Oh and by "tap" I mean put some muscle into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per my previous post, a spade chisel and a big hammer will break the seal and then you will just have to work away at it working the bushing sleeve down the chassis stud.
