Default Seized rear geo bolts

I had all front geo bolts/bushes replaced a few years back. When getting the geo done I found that that back had seized but in the right position.

Was looking at getting the back replaced. Are you guys just buying new bushes from Mugan? Also did you replace the bolts too?

I found it easy to find info on what to order for the front but finding less info on the rear.

Also what's my chances of unseizing? Anyone got it successfully or just wrecked the bush.

Hopefully the rear to cheaper to fix!

After soaking overnight with penetrant, I have been able to free up 80% of seized rear geo bolts with an air hammer.

Anyone able to post a picture of front and rear bolts that seize so I can start soaking them in plusgas. Be much appreciated!

Front No 25 and collar No 13 (it is the collar that seizes in bush). No 26 is a the collar retainer not an adjuster.

Rear No 24 and 25

The others rarely seize and do not adjust anyway.

Have fun!

Any bolt that goes through a bush really, honda have specially designed these bolts to seize and I'm sure the guy who designed these reads these forums and it gives him great pleasure when he reads that there are seized geo bolts. I'm sure he is grinning from ear to ear right now.
