twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 It's probably seized/rusted to the sleeve inside the bushing. Worst case, you can run a sawzall up the middle of the bushing tube until it cuts the bolt in half then push both halves out from the middle with a screwdriver/prybar - assuming you don't intend to re-use the factory control arms.
