Default A Dumb question

I gotta 90 civic hatch and im doing lower control arm and i cannot break the Strut bolt loose to reach the cross member bolt


i got a Impact wrench and it still wont do it lol so i was jsut wondering does any one have any ancient secrets to take this off..... its all original so when i did use impact a buncha rust fell and i used WD-40 but any suggestions on how i could break it loose?

Like do u think a break bar would work since the impact wouldnt even do it

Try using a torch to heat up the metal around the bolt. Not the bolt itself but around it and when it's hot or glowing red impact the **** out of it and it should come right out
