The lower rear shock bolts suck. Anyway I have been fighting this damn thing for hours. I haven't broken the bolt head off yet, but I have rounded it off pretty good. I don't have any air tools and was using a breaker bar. I actually managed to break off the nut that is part of the lower shock bracket, but now I'm stuck. I wailed on the bolt for a while with a BFH after spraying it up with WD-40. My next thought is to try the torch and if that doesn't work take it somewhere and see if they can get it out. My question is, for those of you who have done this or have seen it done, there isn't some other area that is threaded that I can't see is there (this doesn't seem possible) or is it just the damn bushing? If it's just the bushing would more wailing on it with the hammer do it?

BTW...I did a search and found out about the joys of snapping the bolt, but could not find what I needed.

I posted this in the integra forum as well, but got no love...hope that's not a problem.
