well i kinda get it.... but always harder to properly know without physicaly SEEING it.
i know what my 66impala front lower Aarm adjustment bolt looked like but with it its a circle and the NUT... but it could be fully removed to replace it...
but sucks how they made it so it couldnt be replaced!!!!!!!
if i have to i can always cut a hole in the botom of the pocket to replace it IF the dealership will sell that part... then once replaced i can weld over a patch back over the hole so its solid again... or just bracing around it first and then cut ahole.
guess ill have to check out the dealership and see if they can sell that part and HOPE it doesnt cost alot...
but then again spraying it down with penatrating oil so much MIGHT just do the truck alone but like said.... problem is IF it doesnt or it does snap... then id have to wait for any parts... i know its a hassle either way i go or even look at it.LOL

I actually tried to look up the inside slider nut part and I can't even find it.
It's less likely that the bolt will break, and MORE likely that in the process of heating the bolt up you burn off the whole rubber bushing. So before you take a torch to it I suggest having either new OEM compensator arms, or the aftermarket toe adjusters.

I bought COMPLETE rear trailing arms with the hubs, rotors, calipers, ebrake lines, and compensator arms for $300, you don't need all that though.
if you want to get the stock compensator arms they are probably pretty cheap, at least cheaper than the ST adjusters.
