That pesky bolt..

Well, a couple days later, and still no luck on the passenger side long bolt through the two lower control arms and knuckle. We have soaked it in PB blaster, we've run all around it with an air hammer, we've spent plenty of time on it with the impact gun, and we've tried the breaker bar on it. No luck. The front control arm won't even turn on it, though the nut removed easily.

Makes a good case for anti-seize on all similar parts when re-assembling.

We picked up a torch, so we'll disassemble as much as we can in-place before heating things up. You know, avoid flaming brake fluid mixed with dripping grease and the like. Fingers crossed this will get it out.

Sunday was Auto-x, Tamra beat me again! We were both driving well, and I was happy with my performance on the relatively technical course. There was a very sharp decreasing radius that gave me some real trouble, but the rhythm slalom section went pretty well for most of the runs, which was a new one for me!
