take the guard off the grinder and get a 7 1\2 cutoff wheel.. use a grind shield and be careful ..

always have the sparks comming at you with a cutoff wheel.. that way if it catches or pinches , it kicks away from you

so many times this has helped me cut out bolts or metal without the need or a plaz torch
or a oxygen/gas torch ..

yes its not for the weak ,, but if you are careful you will be just fine,,
no different than using a shock compressor tool for your shocks lol

this is a very old posting but i have been searching internet for this issue and i found this. i must say after reading all i'm about to point i'm going to have to saw it out. kinda assumed id have too but hoping for something i hadn't tried yet. Ive tried everything that was mentioned here. i have rear end out no tension whatso ever and it wont budge at all. ugh i was not wanting to have to cut it out that will be a slow pain lol.
The sleeve is spinning with the bolt? So, the bushing is destroyed? I got such an issue on a different car, only solution is cutting it out, I used a saw, no fun.

Can you drill the rubber bushing enough so it comes out in one piece (like the rear UCA technique, to replace the bushing on the pumpkin)?
