How the heck do I get this bolt out of my rear suspension linkage.
See that bolt? It won't budge. We took out the sub-frame with the linkage still in it and then we tried using my neighbor's 20ton press to push it out, but it just bent everything to heck. I've tried getting a similar bolt out before from a sub-frame from a salvage yard, but we ended up just cutting the bolt in half because it wouldn't budge either. Is it supposed to come out at all? How the heck am I supposed to replace my rear sub frame? Thanks. BTW this is a 92 accord. The picture is of the rear suspension. One link is taken down and out of the way for you to see better.

It is most likely that the bolt has rust welded to the inner crush sleeve of the control arm bushing. Easiest thing would be to use a sawzall to cut the bolt on either side of the bushing so you can remove it.
Yeah that's how we got the bolt out of that one we pulled out of a salvage yard. At least it shouldn't be as hard to put it all back together.
