      Yes, I'm replacing the lower control arm and the rear bushing sleeve is seized to the bolt. Any suggestions on removing it? I'm about to borrow a saws-all and just cutting it in half and working it out with vise grips. Do I need a torch to expand the sleeve?

      Yep...A sawsall would be you best bet if you can't get a drift pin and a large ball peen hammer to remove it.

      Same damn problem on my aveo. 105K miles and the two rear bolts are seized to the bushing. How did your sawsall work out for you? I am about to cut this damn thing apart. Those two bolts are the only thing holding me back from finishing my whole suspension/bushing install.
