Quick one for anyone who might be able to offer advice.

I'm trying to change the rear shocks, and the lower shock bolts on both side are completely seized onto the beam. I've tried plus-gas, shocking them, drifting them and a bearing extractor (which just slips). Any ideas? I don't really want to drill it, or take the beam off to press them out and I don't have access to heat sadly.

Any help desperately appreciated!

Just thought I'd update this in case it will ever be useful to anyone else...

I ended up cutting the bolt in between the shock and the beam. Then put a two jaw hub puller on it to force it out. However, I did have to pack the jaws to stop them slipping, and then but the jack under the beam so the jams could not slide down under pressure.

It looked very heath robinson, but it worked!
