Not usually a good idea with seized bolts, chances are you'll rip off the head of the bolt before the bolt comes loose.

Tell them to put a wrench on the other side to hold it so they can break it loose with the gun.

You need new bushings, the same exact thing happened to me on my rear suspension. I think it was like $25.00 for the new bushings and then an hour of labor. I think it came out close to $100.00 when I was done.
