ouch, pretty sure you're talking about the lower control arm bolt, huh? if it's seized and the bushing is already spinning then the only thing you can do is cut the bolt.

but, you can always search. pretty sure there are other ways to get this bolt out.

surprisingly i have yet to see this problem with the fronts. my advise though (which you should have done with the rear), is spray some PB blaster on the bolt. it's a super strong penetrating lubricant. works wonders.

then when you get the bolt out, use anti seize so next time you take it off, you wont have to worry about this problem.
