TVR Chimarea rear suspension dismantle

[TVRWelford]

Can anyone suggest a method to remove a rear top wishbone bolt which is seized to the suspension Bush inner metal tube? Being the Bush towards the back of the car there is no room to drive the bolt out with a hammer. Have soaked in WD40 and applied extreme force on a ring spanner but can only turn as far as the Bush rubber will twist.

i use an air operated reciprocating hack saw cut down where the plastic thrust washers are or should be so no damage to arm or mount then push out bush and siezed bolt other bits will fall out.

I used one of these when I had to cut off my front suspension bolts. £60 form screwfix - worth every penny.
