Default Trying to remove Rear Toe Arm?? HELP!!!

Hi Everyone,

My car is up on jack as we speak and I'm trying to get the rear toe arms off the car (the rod the running parrallel to the car, slightly in an angle). I remove the bolts attached to the brake assembly, but I cant seem to get to the bolt on the other end.

I tried a search and one other person had the same problem but there was no reply to his post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

The bolt on the subframe would not budge! I was even using a 90psi impact wrench! I may just have to get a shop to put them in. Most likely West End Alignment down here in Torrence. THey do some great work from what I'm told.

Try spraying it with some WD-40 (let it sit for a few minutes) and smack it a few times with a rubber mallet, then go at it with the impact wrench. Mine came off fairly easily with a power impact and some elbow grease.

WestEnd is a good option as well, Darren does very professional work, I got some suspension work and alignments from him. Its not cheap but guaranteed to be done right and clean (don't have to worry about dings and scratches to your car or rims).
