Idler arm nut stuck to bolt, Sawzall the bolt?
Hey everyone, lots of good info here. I've been searching but I can't find exactly what I need.
95 Blazer, 4WD. The bolt on the idler arm and the center link doesn't have a castle nut, it has I believe a 2 way lock nut. I've been hitting it with PB blaster and it still just turns the bolt, nut won't budge. And of course the bolt head is rounded.
Is there some trick to remove these nuts, or should I just sawzall through nut and bolt flush against the center link, then tap it through?
