Default seized LCA bolt. Bought new LCA's, now what?

Alright, my LCA bolts are seized in the bushing, like most people. I went out and bought new BLOX lca's, so now what would be the best thing to do? I haven't really tried to get the other two bolts out either.

torch out the bushing and bolt
install new LCA
when putting in bolt, be sure to use lots of anti-seize... it will help if you ever have to remove it again.

WOW, finally got my suspension done. Started about 6:45 in the evening, and got all done around 11:00pm. Jeez was it a bitch. I hate my car

I used everything, a Sawzall to cut 3 bolts. Impact wrench, propane torch. It's basically impossible without an Impact gun. Thank goodness I'm done with it
