This is the bolt that holds the radius arm to the swing arm on a 1992 D35 assembly and also serves as the coil spring perch. Unless I'm mistaken, the plate and bolt are one piece? How do I remove this thing without completely destroying it?!?!?! I cannot locate a socket deep enough to use an impact on it and besides, there is barely any exposed bolt to get a good bite on it to overcome the 30 years of rust build up. I beat on the round plate hoping to loosen it but didn't want to go any further until i consulted the experts at TRS. I can most likely remove it with a large pipe wrench and some heat but then would have to replace it. I didn't want to spend the extra $$$ since will be sinking some dough into other areas. Do they even make these replacement parts?
