After a protracted battler with the shock side bolt on my 65's rear 
control arm. I won. 

The bolt end broke off, and it did not want to come out.  Had to spray 
with Seafoam a bunch of times, then bang on it with a BFH, then spray 
some more.  Then heat.   Still would not budge.  Made a press out of a 
c-clamp, still would not budge.

Broke out Mr Dremel, and started to grind the bolt head off  (figured I 
could shimmy it out).  That got it hot enough, so it would BFH out.  3 
whacks later it was out.
