[MR2] Problems with rear wheel bushes

[Dave]

24mm = apply PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench or other penetrating oil.  I  
don't know how much rust you have, but surely it will turn with enough  
leverage / force.  Hopefully (and very highly unlikely) you didn't  
cross-thread it.

14mm nut = there is a 5mm allen hole in the end of the bolt.  You need  
to put an allen wrench in there to stop the bolt from turning when you  
turn the nut.
