well i got the bolt to turn but it will only turn in the bushing with the metal peace so if i heat it up will the bolt come right out?


Some times, put the nut back on the thread heat it then try smacking it with a hammer.

My bolts were rusted solid in the bushing sleeve, that's why I mentioned replacing the bushings also.
