Removing seized shackle bolts?
Hello All, Looking for recommendations. I purchased the MorRyde CRE3000 with wet bolt / shackle kit. Jacked the camper up and the axels up, pulled the wheels, and did not get past the first shack...

I suggested several times on this forum to cut a figure 8 inside the bushing to allow the grease to distribute away from the grease hole. You can't get enough pressure to force it thru a tightly blocked hole. Expect more joints to stop flowing as the wear will cause a better match and more perfect blocking.
Use a Dremel with a ball burr. It doesn't need to be fancy and don't make it very deep as the bushings are thin. Also, don't run the groove completely to the end or the grease will take the easy path right out.
