I was in the process of replacing the drivers side strut when it came to the point of taking out the lower strut retaining bolt. The strut bolt was frozen solid... Tried to bang it out, wouldn't budge, then had to cut off the strut arm that the bolt slides through. After the strut was out hammered out the bolt to find that the bushing was bad... Had to cut out as well. Started to do the other side before my trip out of town... same problem. Aborted that mission and will complete after return from trip.
