    My wishbone is seized

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    Is there any 1 who can recomend a way to get the bolts out that attach the wishbone to the subframe would be a massive help or would it just be easier to drop the subframe as i have 3 other r5 turbos

    Are they siezed in by any chance? If they are only real way is to cut them out, hitting them out you'll have a good chance of bending the wishbone mounts.

    Cut the wishbones to bits with a grinder, the bolt seizes inside the bush.

    yup, i had to cut the bolt out too after mines were stuck solid.

    i actually cut the wishbone off so i had more room to make some clean cuts.
