I’ve been using this website for over a year since I bought my Rx-8 and it’s been pretty helpful, but I just now created an account now that I can’t seem to find much information about my problem anywhere.
About a week ago I ended up oversteering in the rain and, of course, I slid into a curb. I ended up bending the front lower control arm lateral link (F151-28-45XC) and figured well damn looks like I’ll just spend some money and replace it myself. I ended up getting the piece out BUT I guess the joint part that goes into the knuckle and connects with the control arm is seized along with the bolt above it. If anyone could help me figure out how to get them out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I’ll attach some pics of the problem, maybe even throw in a pic of my 06’ Rx8 lol

Thanks for all the replies I didn’t expect anyone to answer so quick lol but I’ll give it another go tomorrow afternoon. I’ve tried torching it, pb blaster, & hammering it out but no progress. I’ve been wanting to get an air compressor for a while though and now it will come in handy, I’ll come back with an update by the latest Sunday afternoon.
