The bolts are long, about 9" in length. There is four of the same, the two in middle and two outers by the rear hub.

I got mine from the dealer when replacing them (two sized so they were cut off) two were re-used.

8$ each. Good luck.

^ Did you see what I wrote?

Cut them out. Get new ones. Re-install.

They rust inside the shaft, the metal expands. Heating them doesn't work.

Try spraying with Parts Blaster (PB) or other penetrant and use a steel drift and hammer to punch it out. It's likely frozen in the bushing and will require quite a bit of effort to remove.
