Alignment Component Replacement Costs

So I got new tires for my '07 335i Coupe Sport Pkg. Took it to Belle Tires to get an alignment and after a few minutes they said they couldn't do it since they couldn't undo the bolts. Anyone know what parts would need replacing and at what cost? I know it's a longshot but seems that the dealer is my only place to take this. Not looking forward to that.

Did they specify which end they struggled with?

AFAIK the only shit at the front that might be a problem is the tie rod pinch bolt. At the back the eccentric bolts are probably seized. They can be a pain to remove so perhaps that’s what they’re talking about?

Not an expert here—just my experience.

Would be best to know which bolt they were talking about specifically so we can advise. For example when I went for an alignment they told me they couldn't perfectly align the rear right although it was good enough, because of a seized camber (or maybe it was toe, I don't remember) bolt.

Yeah—was similar situation for me. They couldn’t do rear but said it was in spec. Less work for them but same cost for me .

Its the seized camber bolts. Hopefully, the dealer can replace those but man I'll be paying up the wazoo.
