Can anyone lend me some advice?

i have the nut off the camber bolt but it won't budge - i reckon the fact its the only thing holding the hub on to the strut isn't helping so i'm going to put the bottom bolt back in and stick a jack under the arm. The bolt head is completely rounded so I'm also going to hammer on a socket to try and rotate the eccentric part of the bolt round

these are the bolts -

Can you post a picture of the culprit bolt in position?

i can't get a picture as my car is on bricks away from my home address.

It's in the top strut bolt hole (exactly the same as the normal bolt would be) and is rotated to add or subtract camber.

Oh I see. Presumably it can't be hit from the nut side?

What I would do it jack it up and try again

Failing that get some serious heat on it or get a nut welded onto it so you can get it undone (I would personally do the welding option as I have a welder lol)

going to jack it up and bash an irwin nut remover socket over it, i think. i'm certain it's the tension and the eccentric part of the shaft being in the wrong place that is causing my issue, if that fails i'll heat her up.

thanks,

Dan

PS can be hit from nut side but i'm not sure it'd help if the lump on the bolt was in the wrong place - could it be wedged against something (not sure what)?

Sounds like a plan

Had to angle grind the s**t out - nightmare.
