It would seem that once that top nut is spinning or almost able to make a complete spin that re-installing is going to be an issue when it needs to be torqued to 80ft lbs. You will need to hold the nut when re-installing. I got 7 out without spinning the nut, and might have got them all if I heated the bolt every time when it it got hard to spin. I didn't do that with the one that spun, and it only came half way out before it spun. They all turned hard until they had only a few threads left, and some of them would spin almost a half turn before the cage would hold. Those almost broke the cage loose.
So did you saw the top bushing, or the bottom? I’m in the middle of changing the right front one now and it’s stuck as hell. I was going to buy a big bit and drill it out, but I’ll try the sawsall first.
I used a cut 7/8" wrench to slide in and back up the spun cage nut. Use mirror and light and catch it by spinning 15mm bolt. Pain Ass! Then spray some metal protection film for corrosion.
Warning to the wise sometimes they don't tell you when you get the bolts off the bushing that lower part might not come off that easy matter of fact had to take a grinder and cut the bottom piece off because I couldn't get it off and my dad did it I had a crowbar he had a crowbar we're actually ridden up a bearing puller and couldn't get it off on the way we did is grind the circle part so we can lift through the top it worked nobody tells you about that they just tell you that the bottom part of that bushing will come off easy wrong
2011-2016 front ones are even more difficult to access those front cage nuts! Great video
Great video! I tried taking the front ones out and when the nuts spun, I said not today. I just need to take the time and get it done.

Should have went with S&B bushings way better than any other
Is there any reason you don't show your work? I like to see the wrenching.
I agree should have shown where you put the jack to lift it

What if you weld the nut in?
Great job!

induction bolt buster
I’ve been soaking mine for three months. I hit it every week needless to say it didn’t help
