I wanted to save the bolt in case I can't find another. But after several attempts, it was just not coming out. So... I tried my angle grinder w/ a cutting wheel, but had interference problems w/ the crossmember and the exhaust pipe. Then I tried a smaller air powered die grinder w/ a cutting wheel and it worked! Sure hope I can find a new bolt!
My last remaining issue is the u-bolt that holds the axle to the trailing arm. The left one came out real easy, but the right one doesn't want to budge. I hammered and pried on it last night (yes, the nuts are off), but it wouldn't let go. It seems like it's welded on. Sprayed more PB blaster on it last night and will give it another shot tonight. Once that is off, the rear suspension will be completely removed. I'll have the old bushings pressed out before I clean up and paint the arms and the stabilizer bar. Thanks to everyone for your help. I love this site!
