Default rear knuckle bolt

i was replacing my springs in 20 degree weather without a care in the world... front 2 h&r's done! ... nice drop.

All was smooth until i reached the rear left shock to knuckle bolt and nut... i got the nut off after a 30 minute fight ... but the Bolt is FROZEN in the shock through a rubber mounting... i banged on it, put wd40 on it, tried heating with a heat gun, turning it ... to no avail. i finally gave up before i rendered the car undriveable.

any tips on how to get that bolt out ... cars *** is way in the air!!!

looks ok though... thanx!
