Has anyone ran into an issue trying to remove the 19mm lower control arm bolt? I had no issue on the driver side but the passenger side will not release. I have soaked it in PB Blaster and I am using a breaker bar. The bolt is taking serious damage and probably going to replace it with a new shiny one once removed. I am almost to the point I am going to just cut it or break it to get it off. Thought I would see if there is something I am missing or not trying first.

Yup, on my first install of springs (this is the third, two for springs and one for shock) I had one that was frozen from when the car came off the assembly line. Heating it up, drilling, pretty much had to cut it off and rip it a part to get it off. If your Nissan dealer does not have one in stock, check with Infiniti....same parts. g/l it is a bugger.

If a good foot on a 19 mm wrench does not break it loose, then you are pretty much into thrashing mode.

I had this problem. Passenger side came off after a couple hours of sweating, but driver side stayed on after getting 2 other guys to help me and breaking a couple tools. Had to take it to a shop to get it off :<

(a couple more hours of putting everything back together)

All good, I skim most of the time and miss the easy stuff.
