I bought some 2'' lift shackles......

The nuts were easy enough to take off but after hammering the bolt she doesn't want to budge. I threw PB blaster on it. Let is soak, and the bolt turns with alot of friction but it doesnt want to move outward at all.

I called the shop and they said $200 which in my opinion is outrageous.

What should my next step be?
I have a torch havent tried it yet, would this work?
I could go buy a C clamp and hammer on that really hard, but I feel like i would just bend the C clmap....
Should I invest in an air hammer?

Could you guys come through for me yet again haha?

any ideas?

 

here is a how to on it

HOW-TO: Knaffle's Shackles install - Zr2USA.com

those bolts are a total p.i.t.a!!

and a discussion on removing them

if you scroll all the way down on our threads it shows a table of related threads...pretty handy.
i just wish it wasnt buried so far down.

 

Wow, I don't think I've ever noticed that before. Good to know.

 

when i done mine i had the air hammer ready with a pointy bit

but mine slid out like spreading butter on bread .... Thank you 2 cans of pb blaster

if you dont have the air hammer

get a decent size screw driver and bang this **** out of it

 

And when you install the new ones ANTI-SEIZE ANTI-SEIZE ANTI-SEIZE on the threads & all along the bolts (preferably new bolts.) Try to take off any corrosion you may find along the bolt holes etc. Fluid Film is good at protecting surfaces like that from more corrosion.

 

i torched mine the bolts were seized in the sleeves of the bushings air hammers c clamps did me no good so i poured the heat to it pushed out the bushings and all it was all a big P.I.T.A and getting the new bushings in wasnt any easier

 

ANTI SEIZE! lol... no torch needed! I have to remove mine Monday & they were put on 3 years ago. I hope they used the copious amounts of anti seize they said they did. You never know, you may want to r/r them in time for more height.
