Ah, I see he can't get the bolt that affixes the link to the strut/spindle.


Use a ball joint press or a c-clamp. Put a socket on the one side to give an area of recess and a punch on the other end to drive it through.

Air hammer helps.

I suggested the ball joint press, but I like the C-clamp and socket idea better!
