Did an oil change today. While I was under there, I had a good look at the
fasteners I will be rquired to attack when I eventually do the suspension
bushings.

Everything appears straightforward, except for one item: The inboard-most
bolt on the lower control arm.

The nut for that bolt is surrounded by a sort of strut or bracket that is
welded to the crossmember. This bracket surrounds the nut too closely to be
able to get even a thinwall socket on.

Am I correct in assuming that this nut is solidly mounted and will not
rotate as I turn the bolt head? There are no spot welds on the nut.

Also looks like I'm going to have to hammer out the bolt that goes thru the
bottom of the shock fork. After 14 years, it's gotta be rusted solid to its
control arm bushing's inner sleeve.
