I have seen some people have stripped the welded nut because the leaf bolt was rusted to the center of the bushing causing it not to come out.
My plan so this does not happen to me, is to heat area 1 with mapp gas, then loosen the bolt a little hopefully it will come out and not stripp, since my 1999 in 12 years old, I am figuring for the worst that the bolt will be rusted to the inside of the bushing.
Next I plan on using a saws all to cut the bolt at the 2 location in the picture, then remove the leaf and heat off the head of the bolt.
Does this sould like a good plan, if not I may price what a mechanic will cost to do it, because if anything goes wrong it looks like things can get ugly real fast.
