if you jack up the drum part of the rear brake a little you can releave some pressure on the bolts. You then might be able to slide the bolt out easier.

did you try the chisel technique? get under there and stick a screwdriver through and hit the other end with a hammer that or take a open ended bar and pry it.

sORRY Bro, just jiggle it around a lot but be careful. Sometimes it happens.

well my final decision was to just screw it and go at it with a hacksaw.. form that i found out the reason it wasent moving was because the bushing were rotted completely into the LCA.. now i need new bushings.. and new bolts. anyone know if i can just put those bushings in myself?
