Evening all!

I’m hoping someone could kindly offer me some tips please?

I’m changing the links and rear anti roll bar bushes. However, the lower links are a nightmare to remove and are completely seized. Using a grinder, I’ve cut off the bolts but now part of the bolt is stuck and there is not enough room to swing a hammer to bash it out. I thought about using my slide hammer but not sure if there’s enough room for that either. Fortunately, the bolt now moves freely, I’m just not sure how to get it out.

It’s the top bolt I’m trying to remove, I’ll put some pictures in. I put a picture of the other side as a reference.

cheers
 
Undo the nut & knock it out. It’s on a taper and will only come out that way.
Big pair of stilsons onto the part you have cut off may help with movement after nut is removed
Cheers Phill!
The nut is so seized and has a split pin in it so I don’t know if it’ll be possible to remove it:(
 
I'd be tempted to weld a bar on the shaft and wedge a spanner of the nut, like @Hicap phill said. it on;ly comes out one way...

A;lternatively just leave it thetre and remove the anti-roll bar altogether, they are more pain than it's worth (IMO)

Good shout! You’re rightit was one of those “I’ll just grind it off” moments without thinking first. What a dick ahah
 
You'll be an expert before long o_O Is that your 200tdi in the avatar looks like a nice colour. Not sure
what colour to paint mine.
Cheers! That’s actually my old one, I’ve got a TD5 now (just updated my avatar). Do miss the grunt of the tdi tho. You going for a heritage look or more of a modern machine?
 
Do not bother trying to remove the split pin, just bend/snap its bits out of the way. Tap/belt a socket on to the nut, the pin is soft and will give way when the nut turns. Heat is your friend in times like this. [ A plumbers propane blowlamp works pretty good on smaller items like this if you have nothing else.] Once nut is off more heat on the bracket before a belt on the nut end of the shaft. A heavy drift [ mines an old series layshaft ] and/or lump hammer will shift it. [ move brake pipe and plastic clip away some ] Good luck.

Good tips! Thanks for this, I was using a heat gun on it which seemed to be helping out. Seems like its a case of getting that nut off then

Unless you drive your Landy on the road regularly, in which case they stop it from listing like a torpedoed ship when you go round corners at any reasonable speed.
