    Hi Guys,

    Has anyone been able to get seized LCA bolts to function again? I installed my 6112/5160 Bilsteins on my 2010 Tundra over the weekend and went for an alignment today. Shop says the lower LCA bolts are seized and they tried heating them up to no avail....Looks like im going to have to pay 2k for all new hardware and LCA's. Trucks still in the shop and i am probably just going to have them do it but was wondering if anyone had a trick to bringing these back to life. I did the strut/ shock change in my driveway and just do not have the time or gumption to cut out the bolts myself, i need the truck for work but its killling me to pay this much and let someone else do the work. Im mostly just wondering what others have had to go through with this problem. I used the search function but did not see a whole lot. Thx in advance for any info.

    Seized like rust-seized? Surprised heat didn’t help. I once had a seized bolt that I squirted copious amounts of PB Blaster for days on end. A week or two later i was able to break it free.
