Ed, 

I am where you are also...nothing but a flat washer left.  I'm told that 
heating it up will work....I've heated stubborn bolts then spritzed with PB 
Blaster and had good luck but am hesitant to do so with the aluminum alloy 
trailing arm....the guys in the club say that the heat won't affect the 
trailing arm but I'm not going to try it...
