I am attempting to install new rear spring bushings in my '64 Daytona convertible. I couldn't get even the first bolt out of the lower shackle to spring mount. In reviewing the subject on the SDC Forum it was consensus that you have to cut off the bolts- they are hopelessly stuck to the inner sleeve of the bushing. So, I started cutting the first one last night, but by about 1/3 through the teeth on my Sawz-All blade were completely worn off. Are they case-hardened bolts? Should I use Grade 8 bolts for replacements? What about using stainless steel bolts to maybe keep the sleeves from rusting to the bolts? Paul Johnson
