 One last bolt, the inner lower arm retainer bolt, is keeping me from removing the last piece of the suspension from the car, crossmember still bolted in.

The bolt is stuck in the crush tube, and the crush tube rotates (slightly) in the bushing if I apply enough torque on the bolt. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves for freeing that bolt?

I have already attempted to drive it out with a piece of wood and a heavy hammer, but it is hard to get a good angle at it, so it seems ineffective. It is getting tempting to grind the head off the bolt, cut the threaded end and get it over with, but not having to get a new bolt would be nice too.

Any ideas?
