Sorry, but of course Don is right. I was thinking of the threaded vertical
links. The A-frame link assembly breakout is clearly explained on pages
376-377 of Bentley's manual, and I took mine entirely off and did the refurb
on my workbench. Again, I highly recommend getting the manual.

There are no threads. Just the bolt through the bushing's steel sleeve.
Probably rusted to the bolt.
I would agree with Gene... Take it off the car. Take the A arms off the
spring pan. Buy new Trunions
etc, etc, etc. bean blast it all -- new bushings. Powder Coat it or POR-15
followed by Chassis Coat
Black.
On my TR250 there was a lot of corrosion in the lower A arm bolt islets. I
bead blasted them and put
a thin coat of POR-15 in them with an artist's brush. Not too much paint --
the urethane bushings
won't fit.
