Hey there,
97 TJ Sport, 4.0, 5spd. Was replacing my rear sway bar bushings and bushing brackets and had a hell of a time getting the bolts out. Sprayed penetrating oil and let it sit for a few days...re-sprayed multiple times. Was able to crack three of the four loose with a breaker bar, but the fourth was seized. Had to heat it about 5 separate times to finally crank it out.
Not an engineer, so wondering if heating that bolt that many times to red hot fatigues the metal? Thanks for the help!
