Rear Wishbone chamber bolt Grr!

[Poloace]

I just replacing both rear wishbones on my S2 Avant arfter having an accident and discovering excesive chamber on the rear end due to worn wishbone bushes on the rear.

HOwever I am having great difficulty extracting the adjustable chamber bolt going though the lower bush on the rear hub. I now managed to hammer it half way out but it is a nightmare arfter applying heat and lots of force it appears to have rusted and siezed to the inside of the bush. So I will need yet another new bush. I had to destroy the short metal brake pipe aswell The new chamber bolts where £8.50 from Vagparts Wishbones were cheaper than I expected

Anyone else have a similar experience or is there a certain knack i missing

i struggled a bit the bolt was tight after a little while the bolt came off. i guess the other side might be the same.

I now managed to get the bolt out, but all the brake pipes have been a right pain. I had to carefully remove the plastic sleave from the handbrake cable to get the wishbone off the only other way looks like removing the whole handbrake cable a threading it though the wishbone!
