So today I tried to replace my LCAs. Everything came loose on both the DS and PS except being able to get the front bushing sleeves out. Has anyone else had this issue?
We tried everything from PB to heat and a mallet. Tomorrow I plan I cutting them off with a saws all. Thanks in advance.
If you have removed all the cam hardware, then just cut it out. I second the diablo blades, they're the only way to go. My cams were seize, so I cut through everything
Heres a pic of the cam hardware with the rear on the left and the front on the right, just to confirm you have everything before cutting. There is a through bolt with integral cam, cam washer, and nut for the rear. The front has a plain through bolts, cam sleeve, and cam washer with integral nut.
Same as everyone else, I had to use a sawzall with a carbide tipped blade to cut both of mine out. With that blade, it was easy - just be careful and don't cut anything else in the process!
I was told my LCA is seized on the PS and would probably need to be cut out to be replaced. Luckily enough it’s seized in spec for my alignment, but if/when I replace it I’ll be in your position.
