Jetta Mk6 2015 Rusting seized control arm bushing removal
Have not found any good answers on this on forums nor on YT. so I am posting this for all
Front lower control arm rearward bushing bolt is seized in the bushing. The nut can be removed but not the bolt.
The bushing can be be cut out with a Sawzall style saw with a metal blade.
Key is to get stuff out of the way so you can get to the bottom and top part of the bushing..
And lift the control arm up to cut the bottom side.
then lower it enough to get to the top side
Dont cut to close to the bottom so that you dont damage the subframe.
Took about 90 seconds per cut. 2 cuts per side.
the pics are from left and right side... mixed.
