Lower Shock Bolt Frozen 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be John on  Fri May 11 05:28 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm replacing the rear shocks on my 940 for the first time. Eight years of NY winters have taken their toll on the lower shock bolt - nut came off OK, but I can't drive the bolt through the lower shock busning. Never had this happen on the 140 and 240 cars I've replaced shocks on - including one real rust bucket! Do I go with a bigger hammer, heat the shock bushing w/propane torch, or take a cut-off wheel to the bolt? Any experience/recommendations appreciated. Thanks...
