My 90 Sundance needs its left rear upper shock bolt stump removed. THe head broke off despite plenty of lube. Trying to hammer it out is difficult since there isn\t enough room to give your 3 pound hammer+ a drift or small bolt + a good swing.

IT is soaked and will turn from the nut (fwd) side, but won't budge. I wish I could press it out, but there's no room for a c clamp.

I'm, concerned about using propane so close to the filler neck!

You thoughts...

Sawzall to the rescue. The bolt rustbonded to the shock's metal sleeve. Nothing would work. So always always coat your bolts with anti-seize to prevent this. Good insurance.

You can grab the mounting bracket edges with vise grips and bend them slightly to get more clearance to get a tap in there.
