subikid90 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 From bending it you probably have a ton of tension on it. If you can take a cut off wheel to the bar and cut it to release the tension. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 those bolts are a b1tch even when they aren't bent, especially in the rust belt. use everything, pb blaster, breaker bars, long pipes, heat, hammers, and if necessary, a sawzall. although you may be past the sawzall stage since the nut is off. at some point you may want to take it to a shop and let them do the hard part. it's worth it to me sometimes just to get it over with. buy a replacement and take in and ask them to replace it.
