My PB blaster can is empty and defeated.

Propane torch, ultra drill, carbide bid, and my steely determination and bulging muscle mass are my only weapons against the bolt.

headshok, I'm replacing the upper control arms with adjustable ones. That is why i could give a **** whether the boots split, burn, or whatever. I was seriously considering using a Sawzall to cut through the arms to get the knuckle out.
Not considering it anymore? Or have you defeated the bolt? If you're replacing the uppers (I never knew that is what you were doing), then yeah, kill them. Why not? You'll never need them again if you're using adjustables...

How did you install your coilovers without getting the devil bolt out?

Just wiggled them in there. Used spring compressors to make them short, and bolted them to the strut mount, then put the pivot bolt in the front lower control arm. I kinda played it by ear.

You are absolutely right about the Sawzall. I can take some mechanical retribution. Oooooh, that feels good to think about.
I'm about to go out there and give it a whirl with my torch, my drill, my BFH, my dremel, and of course my steely determination and muscle mass.

Haha, I've got a few of those hanging on my garage wall... BOTH were called into action while doing my devil bolt. Ended up with the big drill though :P

All right Yuikio, what's the latest on this story? I think I may have to tackle this bolt within the next 6 to 8 months.
