Stuck nuts front lower control arms
Stuck nuts front lower control arms
So to start, both nuts and probably bolts for the front end lower control arms are stuck, which I've learned is a common issue. Tried heating, 750ft lb impact, penetrant, nothing worked, so I decided i need to cut it.
Went to remove the brake caliper to have room to get in with a sawsall and both bolts holding it on are stuck. I don't think i should heat it because it's aluminum. This is the first mod I've tried doing to my g and it seems it may be over my head.
I'm looking for advice to get the bolts attaching the caliper to the knuckle, or should i just give up and take it to a mechanic? its pretty disheartening when 1/2 of the nuts are stuck, these aren't even the only ones

I think i can, I just bought a bolt extractor bc the head snapped off. I was installing coil overs. I think this is a dead thread now I may delete it if I can, thanks for asking though
