Leave the guard on your grinder. It's there for a good reason. This is how I remove rusted bolts on a control arm bushing or motor mount. Tools from video → Body pin pliers→ amzn.to/2IBftUK XPL→ www.cs4000.net/XtremeGreen/me...

When it came time to knock out the bolts for the control arm, they were completely seized in the bushings. Going to have to use my sawzall or grab a grinder to try and cut through the bolts so I can get the old arm off and knock the remainder of the bolts out.

I've used the 4 1/2" and a 7" hand held grinders. I got a chance to care for a 7" grinder accident. I actually saw the before & after, (was watching him from the scaffolding 20 foot up) laid a block, herd a scream, ran down and held, to stop the bleeding, and stabilize what was still clinging to his left lower arm which was 8" of his lower arm with a hand attached, as the 7" grinder without a guard kicked back as he was cutting 6, 1/2" rebar to 8 foot lengths. I've never removed a guard off a grinder since then, or even before that. I worked on that shopping mall for over a year. Never saw him return to work. To me it was a life changing accident, that could have ben prevented. Use all safety stuff provided with what ever your using. We all want to go home, the way we showed up at work.

Good day Brian. Pls try at once hot acetic acid for rust removal, or you can make a gel of it with dry wood glue and apply in places where liquid will flew off. It's a magic thing - it doesn't hurt a metal, but dissolves ferrum oxide in oil form. Better not to breathe vapors of it, but it's not so harmful as it stinks. For me this 'vinegar' method is the best for stuck threaded connections, it takes some time to dissolve all rust to an oily form, but it's super effective (*with a help of metal brush tool and water to remove the rest of it).

I had the same problem with the right Lower Control Arm in my 1998 Lexus ES300. As a layman, I washed the Nuts bolts with car gas drawn in a cup with a brush. I waited about half an hour and then I tried and opened all the Nuts and bolts except the one behind Rooter as the pin was broken from both ends. As the grinder could not work due to space I tried to cut with a hand saw without success. Now I am going to try drill machine and hope will be successful. Wish me good luck!!!

My issue is with a horizontal bolt on the control arm of a 2008 Ford Escape. The nut is inside the subframe and cannot be accessed. It's so rusted that it won't move! My impact won't move it. I sprayed it with PB Blast for two days. It started to round of so I got a new bolt from Ford but I am afraid of ruining the threads on the welded in nut. I am going to spray it daily for a week then get a long breaker bar and try that. The other bolt and ball joint came out no problem.

At least the thin wall cuts could have easily been made with a 3" or 4" air cut-off tool. They are much safer to use, since they typically stall when they get caught on something. Would have use the sawzall or air body saw for the remaining cuts (could even start the deeper cuts with the air cut-off tool). Air tools are way safer than electric IMO. Also, typically with those end links if they are garbage I just get the nut moving with the impact gun and then switch to holding it with a wrench and then use the impact to drive it through by putting it in the tightening direction. Might not be the best idea if you are saving it, but still, you'll be done in 5 seconds if the impact fits in there.

One other major danger with angle grinders is if the metal sags and bites the blade it can pull you into the car and your hands toward the blade as well as make the blade explode. It's a very good idea to use an angle grinder that has a clutch built in so that it stops the blade if it gets bound up.

I believe I would have cut the bolt with a sawzall and carbide or diamond blade before cutting the control arm. The sawzall is a scary tool also, but for something like this, much safer than the grinder. I say this from experience having used a sawzall to remove my lower control arm bolts recently.

People tend to choke up on the tool as the work progresses. Being afraid of a tool is NOT safer. When you're afraid you hesitate and lose focus. Just my opinion.
