Removing stuck swaybar links on an LN130

Post by Mattman »

I have unbolted the linkage that goes through the lower arm however the steel sleeve between the lower arm and the swaybar has welded itself to the bolt.

I have tried lots of persuasion, soaked it overnight in WD40 but still no luck.

The confined space makes it impossible to use heat or to try and cut it off.

Anyone have any ideas? I may have to pull the wheel carrier assembly so that I can get in and cut it out.

Cheers
Matt.

Updated - removed the wheel carrier assembly and got in with the big grinder and cut it off.

Cheers
