Reply to "stubborn lower-rear control arm bolt"

if you don't mind the ramblings of an arm chair mechanic, I have a couple questions about the assembly and thoughts on how I would try.

From Bosswrench's comments, can I assume the spacer 19 is a fairly good fit over the stud 22.

would the OD of 19 be a good fit in the upright's bore or is it a rattle fit?

continuing with markIV's approach, I would drill in the middle of the uprights bore,till I made a dimple into the spacer. tap the upright. fill with penetrant oil (dextron & acetone). then install a set screw to prevent the spacer from turning with the stud, double nut one end of the stud and see if I could break the spacer free from the stud by twisting and tapping the end.
