Removing stock LCAs.....
Is there any way to do this an easy way? I have the passanger side taken care of, but only after finding that the darn bolts were literally stuck to the rubber bushings, and would not budge, even after trying a punch and smacking the hell outta 'em. I ended up grinding off the bolts, which was a headache. And I still have the driver's side to do, as well as both sides on my junked '90 (lack of $$ means I will be using the 3.73 posi rear outta there until I can afford a 12 bolt).
Any help would be appreciated.

I just picked up a rearend and it still had the LCAs attached to it. One side I was able to take off with some wrenches but I had to use a torch and an impact gun to get the nuts off on the other side.

Well, The nuts/bolts were not a problem. Some PB cured that problem. My problem is the actual bolt not wanting to come free from the rubber bushing.
