Bolt broke off in coil spring clamp...arrrgh

[reed62]

Hey all,

So I was starting to remove the rear coil springs on my 62 last night, I used PB Blaster on the nuts and bolts to loosen up 50+ years of potential rust. I put the wrench to the bottom bolt head and started to slowly move it and the head twisted right off. Now my question is how do you get that bolt out of the trailing arm? The top bolt came out without too much trouble, so with the spring dangling I used my cutoff wheel and sliced through the spring. I used the cutoff wheel and a chisel to remove most of what was left of the spring clamp but am not sure how to get the rest of that bolt out. I really don't want to try and remove the whole trailing arm unless I have to.

Ideas?

Also, how many of you have removed the trailing arms and replaced the bushings? The bolts and nuts look like they are a real joy to remove and would require a large socket and air wrench to get them off.
