I can't get them off!
I'm doing the engine swap in my sunbird finally and I can't get the struts off to get the auto axles out. I am trying to be done with this by friday. I got the nuts off the back of the bolts, but the actual bolts are siezed into the steering knuckle. Anybody run into this?
Help would be great!
thanks

The bolts are splined. They won't turn unless you apply like 1000ftlbs to them. Apply some PB Blaster or something, thread the nut on to protect the end of the bolt, then whack it with a BFH. They'll be stubborn, but they will come out. Don't take out the first one you do, just get it loose and then work on the second one or the strut/spindle will flop around.
