I am having one hell of a time removing the rear lower shock bolt. I soaked it in liquid wrench and have ben yanking kicking and hammering at it for about an hour. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a nut on the bolt?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I have a 1G FWD, so I'm sure they are nothing alike, but just sawz-all the sum-bi***. If you can reach it. Try to cut through the metal sleeve in the bushing rather than sawing into the bracket on the car. On second thought, make sure it isn't a stud that's welded to the suspension arm, then, if it is just a bolt, make one cut on each side of the mount bushing. Presto!
