Had to replace the rear camber bushes on my NS today due to the bolts being seized. Have been trying fir a few weeks with penetrating oil, heat etc but no luck in getting them out.
Ordered new bushes, bolts, nuts and washers through Partsouq.com. $70 delivered to Tassie in 7 days.
Sorry I didn't get any pics as wanted to get on with it. Went with 230mm grinder to cut seized bolts off, then drilled out rubber from old bushes and pushed out inner part. Then hacksaw to cut 3 slices through outer bush casing. Used a 6 ton press to push out old bush, good clean up with wire brush and sand paper.
Installed new bush using same press with a bit of lubrication, bolted everyting back up with anti seize on new camber bolts. Just need wheel alignment on Monday.
Took a few hours to do the job and wasn't too bad, just a pain lying on the floor.......oh for a hoist!!
