Well me and him have spent the afternoon in the garage with her, she scratches bites and makes things so bl00dy awkward and she never effing happy. Had to replace 4 bushes in rear suspension tie bars, bolts came out of chassis ok then to the first hub. Nuts off fine, shock off fine, then that bolt, that 250mm long one. Ten tons of pressing pressure shifted it about 1/2" and it said no further sir. So angle grinder on the inner part to get the tie bar off the hub, then 8 tons to get the two halfs of the bolt out of the hub and cutting the excess off as it came through into the centre of the hub.
Now we need the two bolts to put back in and bolt it all together again, lots of copper ease too. Pressed the new hard poly bushes into one bar, still got the other side to do but we know its gonna be that bolt again. wooly and little wooly.
