I recieved an e-mail from a friend that needs a little help. I am hoping someone here can help. Here is what he sent.
can you get on your corvette forum and find out if anyone has replaced there rear trailing arms on a 72 vette and how they dealt with the rusted TIGHT bolts in the front of the trailing arms., You cannot get a straight shot on hitting them out., you can just get a wrench on the head to try and turn it., but thay are rusted to tight to even think about moving., Torching will not work without severely damaging the frame and body.
Let me know if he can be helped.
