I had a go at that this evening (as well as the crankshaft seal etc and ps pipe replacement) i got the bolt out fairly easily even though it was seized solid , I purposely rung the head of the bolt and sprayed penetration oil in to hole and cleaned the 2 slits in the strut and sprayed them as well , removed the nut and added 3 washers refitted nut and kept tightening nut with a spanner and slacking and increased washer space by sliding in open end spanners as required to pack space between nut and strut and continued to tighten nut and it pulled the bolt out ,I had to cut end of bolt as it was hitting strut before it was out but it was well freed as that stage so a roll pin punch and hammer tapped out remains ,I looked at removing arm from strut and gave it a gentle tap and lever at the same time but it didn't seem keen on moving,is there a trick to lift it without damaging strut ?
