Help! Help! Help! Lateral link bolt out of Busing?

[rclancy]

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry and need to replace the driver side Lateral link (bent) I can't get the bolt out of the control arm bushing! Any suggestion would be very appreciated. I've been pounding on the bolt and have used penetrating oil. It seem to have moved only about an 1/8 of an inch after beating on it for an hour!

Any room in there to get a breaker-bar (with extension) for extra leverage?

its not that its rusted right if so perhaps some PB blaster or just lighting it up with a propane torch could do the trick

I tried a "pickle" fork, breaker bar, no luck.
I had this up on ramps and it was suggested that the weight of the car might be the issue. Put it on jack stands so no weight on the wheel, still won't come out. I afraid of putting a propane torch to it because I might ruin the rubber bushing. Any other suggestions out there?

It sounds very likely that since the arm is bent that the hinge portion might also be bent. You need another person to move it up and down while you hit it, OR you need to cut the bolt head off and start pushing from the other direction.
