Default Rear spring replacement help!

Installing an eibach pro kit on my car right now, we did the front fine, no problems, but the rear is being a bitch.

The problem is the bolt that holds the bottom of the shock to the rear lower control arm. We snapped both ends of the bolt and its still seized in there. It's soaked in WD40, we've been pounding at it with a punch and it still won't come out. is there something i'm not getting?

please help! its getting dark and it's raining

Well it's sitting outside on stands, the damn bolt is all seized in the bushing. i guess thats what happens after 9 years. I took the control arm out and it's going to a suspension shop first thing tomorrow for a new bushing.
