It's frozen in there. If you've tried heating/PB blaster/ Air gun/ all that and it really won't come out, you'll either need to drill it or replace the lca and strut.

i think he means the center one that holds the top hat in litter- he would need a new strut/ and top hot since they do not come with after markets or need to cut that bolt off releasing the old one !

Ok, in that case: When you go to loosen it, it'll spin and spin if you don't put an allen key at the top of the threads. You'll see.
