Yes. This is what I ran into. Removed the nuts, but each bolt is seized to each bushing. Most run into this issue when removing the arm(s). Dennis Haynes kindly suggested using a cut off wheel on an angle grinder. This worked well on one end of outboard mount bolt but I couldn't find a way to use the tool on inboard bolt hence the hacksaw and attempt made with hacksaw blade in vice grips. yes. I tried that. ;) This could all be due to a lack of experience on my part. I'll post what I find. Neil. On 1/20/15, Jim Felder <jim.felder@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, that's what I thought.
