Stubborn LCA bolt...advice?

[white4d96]

Went to put my struts on yesterday, and since my rear LCA bushings were shot, I decided I was going to pull the LCA's and put my poly bushings in. Unfortunately, I was unable to remove the bolts securing the LCA's to the knuckle/trailing arm assemblies. I think the bolts are seized to the bushing sleeves; the bolt turns, but there's a ton of resistance, almost like the bushing is trying to twist. I tried a breaker bar, a 3-foot pipe cheater bar, heat, oil, an impact, prying against the bushing with almost all of the above methods, and nothing. I tried searching and found other people having the problem, but no solutions. Any advice?

You forgot to beat the living shh out of it. Beat it hard with a hammer than WD-40 than more beating. Then get your breaker bar out again
