Need help with rear bottom strut bolts!!!
I'm trying to take off my rear struts and I have the bottom bolt out but the top camber bolt will not come out. It's just completely stuck and we can't get it out. Any tips to get that last bolt out?

That's what were doing now too. We have the hub on a jack and we lifted it up trying to get it out.
The bolt is in there completely. It hasn't even budged from it's original position.

Yeah we removed the nut completely.
Ok we finally managed to smack it out. It literally took us an hour or so to get it out. For some reason it would not budge whatsoever.

I would have put the nut back on backwards and hit it directly with a mallet. Is it a camber bolt? You may try turning it and tapping on it with a hammer, just don't booger up the threads. You may also try putting a flloor jack under the strut and taking some of the tension off of it and continue tapping with the hammer. I've had them stick different times, but they always come out eventually.

By any chance, when you take off the rear suspension or front.... you have to jack up either the front end or rear..NOT the the driver side or passenger side.. It's either the front end first or the rear end ...
