Was Seized bushing on A-Arm now more Horror

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

The early Scirocco shop manual that I have has a procedure for doing this.
Mostly it involves cutting the sheet metal BEHIND the captive nut, repairing the nut, then replacing the sheet metal and overlaying another sheet metal layer on top of it.
I can scan the pages tonight and send them to you if you like.
