https://i.postimg.cc/VsGf48pf/IMG-0063.jpg Many thanks to all who have offered their help - I have today cut off the head of the bolt and removed the mounting bracket. This allowed me to drive the bolt and tube out together leaving the oversized hole shown in the photo. I now have to find a way to ...

Thanks for the tip Dave - will try to get some tomorrow - just hope I can get it to penetrate into the chassis arm. As you can see from the photo access is limited and if the bolt is rusted to the guide tube over its full length then it may take several applications along with pressure with the G cl...

It will not move with an extractor and I don't want to use too much force and crack the alloy. Anyone had this problem and found a solution
