broken upper control bolt

[jedi]

The bolt on my upper control arm broke in two pieces. Its the axle side, driver side. This is a zj with a four link radius style suspension. Half the bolt was gone when I noticed yesterday. The axle housing is slightly rotated now, so the pressure is on the bolt and I can't get it out. Any ideas?

I got it out, getting it in...

Park it on a flat surface, and roll the tire back and forth. Doing this will move the axle back and forth which will eventually get the bolt to line up with the hole.

I just use a big monkey wrench

If it is parked on a flat surface, your arms should be pretty close to being lined up... Do you have any adjustment in the arms that allow you to change lengths of the uppers? Can you check with a tape measure to make sure all the arms are the same length as their opposite-side counterparts?

It was close to lining up, I finally got it. Bottle neck jacks are awesome! I need to buy one now. I had a friends.
