How do I remove this compression rod? I've tried to heat the sleeve with a propane torch and chisel the top, but no luck!!! Looking for tips, tricks, or someone to come to my house and yank it off!!

My G is currently up in the air...so if anyone could give me a fast reply I would appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you trying to remove/replace the bushing? If so, take the whole rod off the car, and take the rod to a shop (or if you have one yourself) that has a hydraulic press to remove the bushing and also press a new one on. Hope this helps!

Yes.......I can't take the rod off the car!

It's rusted on!!!

Start spraying some PB Blaster on there and let it soak...then in 10 minutes, get a rubber mallet and give it a few wacks

Thanks for the reply. I've tried that, but I'll try it again. What's the best place to SMACK it? Because when you hit the actual rod, the bushing cushions. The sleeve inside the bushing is what's rusted to the bolt.

This is riiiiiddiculouuuuuuuuusssssssssssssssss

Not working!!!!! WTF

Still NO luck!

I just put the car back on the ground without the nut and mounting bar NOT attached. Didn't slide off...could this get ugly???

Keep whacking it, did u take the pin out from the top?

Could probably go for a drive without the nut!!!

Whack what part of it? And what pin are you talking about?
