has any one got any ideas on what I can do about this problem, the right hand side i could probably get a drill in, but got no chance of this on the left.

Slightly hacksaw/dremel cut into the nut, and then use it like you would a screw - (Twist with a screwdriver)?! Might work.

Take the axle off mate, its only held on by four bolts, just make sure you get some brake fluid for when you re attatch the brake lines.

Will be much easier to get them out then. Ive spent hours and hours on the t bars and one of the most annoying parts is getting those old bolts out.

If youve got the axle off it will be easy enough to smack them around with a hammer and chisel. Do it on the car and you risk damaging stuff and getting extremely pissed off and cut up lol. Get a mate to help you though obviously as its rather chunky

surely the trailing arm would still be in the way of the bolt on the left even with the axel of
