can be one of the biggest PITA jobs on an old Volvo...

Be careful with heat too..

I had this issue several times... one time, I finally managed to free the bolt from the tube, but it was still stuck inside the bushing... or rather, the inside of the bushing was still one with the bolt. Then came the problem that in applying heat, I burned the rubber part of the bushing completely, so the inside of the bushing would just spin with the bolt. I think on that one, I ended up cutting the A-arm for access...

My wagon is gonna have the same issue... *sigh*

good luck with that one!
