It has to come off.
I need input from those who had the same problem like mine but was able to get out or anybody who's done it before.
This is my daily so your input will be greatly appreciated.

I posted this in the other thread you posted in.
You can try using a jack to lift the control arm up a touch. It's possible it's not seized and the weight of the control arm/chassis is holding it in if the arm isn't perfectly straight to allow the bolt to thread through the hole.
Other than that, PB Blaster, lots of elbow grease and air tools are the next best bet, and if that doesn't work, I've seen members here take a sawzall and cut the bolt if they get seized that bad. I got lucky on mine, and all I needed to do was use the jack to relieve some pressure off the bolt, and then it came out fine.
Torching it will help whether its rusted or not.
