i have Air tools... and its soaking in PB blaster so i hope it comes off tommorrow
other wise i will burn that bolt off and get a new one!
I see you got it figured out
You'll have a much easier time breaking those bolts loose with the rest of the suspension hooked up to keep the ish from moving around on ya.

The reason is steel hardware threaded into aluminum. Should've pulled it before the lateral arms. I used a little heat.

Do explain what the "Easy" way is then?
I have Air tools, jackstands, a 3 ton lift, and plenty of beer
