Need 521 Fulcrum Bolt!

[brodster]

I really need part 54521-04300. It is the Upper Link Fulcrum Bolt. I am in the middle of doing MKlotz's brake upgrade. I am also redoing many of the bushings. When I was try to pull the bolt out, it wouldn't budge. The nut comes off just fine. Beat the crap out of the bolt with a hammer. It looks like the little metal part of the bushing seized to the bolt. There is some weird wear on it. I am guessing I am going to have to cut it.

 

Unfortunately I think this part is NLA. I just tried to reorder it, but I think I already tried. I am in a bit of a pinch here as I am trying to get this thing going by Canby.

 

Thanks for reading.

That's the bolt that connects the upper control arms to the spindle knuckle?

Most likely, yes, but to be sure, it's the bolt going left to right, circled in blue

Well if you can't find a Nissan dealer willing to order this part, you can get one from About Time Spares -- have them mail it to you. They are normally super-expensive, but not on this part.

I actually came across that website last night but wasn't really sure about buying stuff there. Have you bought anything from them before?

I haven't personally but a lot of the guys from Datsun1200.com have. Their complaint is about the price, he's got Nissan New Old Stock that no one else does and sometimes asks a lot for them.
