Machinist@large, thanks for the advise on cutting this badboy out. I am going to be out of town so I won't be able to attack it for a bit but I was wondering the best way to cut it out. This will help a lot.
I appreciate all the good advise here. This is a great forum!
Thanks firemanjim. If I can't get it loose after a week of PB blasting it, that will be my next move. I have been working on this thing for several months and this was the last job. The kart runs well but the steering is wonky due to one of the a arms being bent from the previous owner's...
Thanks everyone for the tips. I still have stuck bolts but I do have a positive side effect. I removed the shock and locked the a arm against the frame like fowler said. Then used my longest 1/2 socket breaker bar for greatest leverage. I didn't get the bolt loosened but I did bend the...

Will do once back at home. The bolts are the two in the center of the kart frame that hold the A Arms to the frame, then also the two bolts at the end of each A Arm that connect the tie rods/wheel assembly to the A Arm. Thanks.
Hope I can get some pointers! Have read all the posts I can on this.
I am restoring a Yerf dog 3203. Last major effort is replacing the bent front suspension arms. I am having a very tough time getting the bolts free on both the spindle and also the two pivoting bolts that connect the arms to...
