Default Rear Tie Bar Installation

So this past weekend I went to my buddies to install my rear-tie bar. No problem I thought. Air ratchet + Air hammer + WD-40 = Bolts will come right out. Holy **** NO.. We managed to get one out with a lot of work and the other is stuck on so ******* tight. It's rusted from the inside out. Anyone else have major problems with those bolts and know a good way to get it out *EASILY* without killing the nut. huhuhu he said nut...

very common when replacing lower control arms (same 2 bolts).
most people end up snapping the heads off and extracting the rest of the bolt.

*Gag* I'll keep on keep on with the WD-40 for the next week and then try again. The bolt moves a quarter turn in each direction but then it just quits do to the in-grown rust. Got to love Wisconsin. Thank god I'm now in vegas
