stubborn lower-rear control arm bolt

tajonMember

in the process of tearing down my rear suspension for rejuvenation, I can't seem to remove the rear lower control arm bolt. It spins, but will not come out of the mount. I've tried backing it out with pressure, I tried persuading it a little with a hammer, and even tried the air hammer but it will not move.

any ideas? I really don't want to damage the bushings if at all possible.

On a side note, a little less than 2 hours into it so far. Feeling good about my progress.
