I just re-bushed my front suspension and my bolts that
connected the a arms to the frame were also siezed.
The fastest way to get them off is to invest in a
saber saw (reciprocating saw). This puppy cut through
my bolts in about a minute per bolt. Try and get a
slim one so you can reach the bolts alright. Mine
worked well. I think it was about $70 at Home Depot.
DOn't forget to buy metal blades for it.
