So.. im installing ustome radius arms and also a Rough country 4in suspension lift worked my way to the driver side and got the shock off and the front coil off no problem. Used kroll oil to gelp penitrate the lower coil stud to remove the radius arm.. after a week of soaking got the bolt to finally move after 20 mins and started to spin.. come to find out the inner nut in the TTB that holds that stud snapped off and the stud is movable but the stuck with the inner nut still attached. Was thinking of cutting the old rad arm off and trying to throw some quick welds in there to fully remove the stud... but was also looking for other suggestions incase that didnt work...

What a pain those big studs are!!

Pull the knuckle then you can access that nut, weld it back on or put a pipe wrench/ on it or cut the whole she bang right off
