cut the head off the bolt for the shock with an angle grinder and then you should be able to get them off easily. the bolt may be seized in the sleeve of bushing on the shock. i had to do that with the my lca's because both camber bolts on both sides were seized in the sleeves. good luck

my camber bolts were seized in the sleeves as well, what a nightmare it was torching those old ones out and then having to use a lathe to get the rest of the bolt out of the sleeve.
