Need help: Rear suspension problem
I ran into a problem during the installation of my Figs rear lower arms.
One of the bolts that hold the OEM rear lower arm is being stubborn and won't come out.
I've sprayed it with wd-40 and used a breaker bar to get it to turn.
But it still doesn't want to come out.
I tried hitting it with a rubber mallet but the bolt still won't budge.
I even tried hitting it with the rubber mallet whille turning it using the breaker bar.
My last resort will be to cut the bolt at both end.
Does anybody have any ideas of what else I can do?

Hey bro try a rust penetrate like Liquid wrench penetrating oil, Royal purple maxfilm, or Pb blaster... They are formulated to penetrate rust ... Spray/soak for 15 min prior and it should spin right off or tap out. Might as well grab some fresh bolts when u swing by lowes or home depot
If that doesnt work heat it up with a heat gun and flash it with ice water a couple times... It will create cracks in the rust from expanding and contracting for the above to penetrate better.
