2001 txt siezed rear leaf spring bolts

dbmachine · 03-18-2023, 08:23 PM

I’m the process of replacing all the rotted out suspension bushings. I replaced the back 2 bushings on each spring where the shackles are but can’t get the bolt to move for the front of the leaf. The nut is right up close to the battery tray and the head of the bolts is pretty thin with not much depth to keep the socket from slipping off. Any suggestions? Tried torch to heat the bolt and no go. Thought about cutting the bolt on each side between the mount and the rotted bushing.

This is what the bolt looks like.
