Removing a bolt from a torn bushing

Asked by Jarrod Dec 09, 2018 at 02:04 PM about the 2007 Mercury Milan V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'm trying to remove the rear upper control arm bolt and as soon as I started
pulling it out the bushing shredded and pulled apart from the control arm
itself. Unfortunately the bolt is of course rusted to the bushing and I'm having
a hell of a time getting it off now that it is detached from the control arm, so
far I've tried heating the bolt up hitting it with the impact interspersed with
rounds of WD40 and such to try to get it to loosen up, any ideas would be
much appreciated as it's not going well.

What kind of heat did you use ? If it is the blue bottle ( propane ) not hot enough use yellow bottle ( map gas ) burns hotter.

Blue bottle, didn't realize there was a difference, I'll give that a go, thanks!

AC question for 2007 Merc Milan, short trips AC blows cold, longer trips 1-2 hours AC works great for a while, the stops blowing cold and blows hot. If I cut the unit completely off, still driving, in 15-20 minutes, turn unit back on to AC, bingo, works great again for 1-2 hours. Of course, when taken to Mercury Dealer, they can't find a problem, it's working great, "if it anit broke we cant fix it". Yep, I know. Only does this on 1-2 hour trips. Help ! Was told it is a blower door problem. However, I hear water/ice sounds when turned off. Is it freezing up? Blower door? Help needed. 2 Answers
