[T3] Front shock bolt


Hi all,

When I removed my front shocks, one of the top bolts came out together with
the inner metal sleeve of the bushing, which appears to be stuck fast to it.
Does anyone have any idea how on earth I can get it off? I have tried
heating it, holding it in a vice grip and whacking it with a hammer, etc,
and it is still as stuck as it was.When I tried the latter all that happened
was that the vice grip gouged long strips of metal out of the sleeve,
indicating that it is made of some pretty soft metal.

Alternatively, are these bolts likely to be available anywhere new?


Thanks,
