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.

Common problem. I used a gallon of WD-40, a chisel which I used under the head of the bolt, and a four-pound sledge. The single bolt took an hour or so to remove--I experienced the same situation of on the other side. When I replaced, I slathered the bolts with anti-seize. Good luck. I'm feeling your pain.
