Frnt lower control arm bolt stuck.

I have a 92 Camaro rs. when i went to remove the control arm to replace my bushings and ball joint i realize the rear bolt is stuck to the inner bushing and i cant get the bolt out. Ive tried hammering cutting turning everything i can think of and i cant get it off.
