Strut is seized to mount

Hey so I went to go take off my strut and I took the 3 bolts off the top and the bolt off the bottom control arm and where the strut is mounted with 3 bolts on top it was seized and I could not get it off. Any ideas?

 

Is it jacked up enough, if so I would try using a pry bar and some penetrating oil where the top hat meets the mount.

 

Yeah it is jacked up enough I went at it with a pry bar and BP BLAST for a hour cool not get it to move

 

Can you slide a long screwdriver or punch into the bottom shock mount and try moving the shock back and forth to free the top.

Just not a lot of room in the wheel well of these trucks. May take some muscle and a lot of cussing to get it out of there.

 

I’ll have to try that I’m goijg to try agina Friday thanks

 

Mark the lower control arm cam bolts with a paint pen, then loosen them to eliminate bushing bind. Next remove the two big bolts connecting the lower control arm to the knuckle. That'll let the lower control arm swing free.
