Hi Started this morning to do the rear arm and everything came off the multi with ease. I was well pleased. Then spent the next 3 hours hitting the bolt trying to get it out. The nut came off with no problems. Also I cant get the bolt to turn
Any how I had to re-assemble the lot. Any ideas on how to get the bolt out.
Cheers
Brian
 
Search on the Multipla forum found this:
I found a couple of things a bit tricky;
-The bolt that goes through the bearing that is broken is most likely severely corroded. I managed to knock it out using a long piece of steel that I put on the bolt, and hitting the steel pipe with a sledgehammer from the other side of the car. You need a helper to do this, but I got the bolts out. The other way to get it of is using a 1mm cutting disc(correct name?). If you do so, watch out for the fuel tank and abs-sensors.
-The wheel bearing is tricky to get off the suspension arm. On both sides mine came off without the inner half of the bearing. I had to heat it gently, then it came off easy. Just be very careful so you don't get dirt in it, put it back together, and re-use.
-The abs-sensor was a bit tricky to get out of the suspension arm, but by twisting it around while applying lots of CRC it was ok to get it off without using much force.
