One of my front end (ride height) adjusters was stuck and eventually stripped when I attempted to remove it. Most likely hadn't been touched since 1971. I used my favorite penetrating oil (AeroKroil) and heat to no avail. Bolt-out saved the day.

Typically, most of the bolts I come across that require a bolt-out have been mucked-up by the previous owner or their dim-bulb "mechanic".
