need help on a part

Ok, I am running into a real problem with my rear brake swap. It appears that some how the cam bolts are completely seased in the knuckle on the rear drums. I mean I have tried EVERYTHING to get them off and it is just not happening. I have the lower trailing arms from the EP3 that came with my swap. What I would like to do is just drop the ones off of the EM2 rear drums and all and use the EP3 trailing arms. They come up as two different part #s but I am not sure that they are. If so would they work?? I mean when you do a 5 lug swap you use the trailing arms from the type S correct?? So I would think that me using the EP3 would be no different. Any help would be appreciated.

You can swap the whole thing, but I would see it being a major pain in the ***. A big f'in hammer should get those cam bolts out. If the bolt is stuck with it, you'll have some luck with a big *** breaker bar. If you can get the bolt loose from the nut, it should come out.

I got thenut lose from the bolt, but it is not coming out (it is seased in the knuckle). I have heated it, hit it, heated and hit it. Now I am going to try and drill it out before I swap everything out, becasue who knows how easy those bolts will come off. It is good to know that I can swap everything out though.
