I started my body lift. Everything was easy till i ran in to one bolt on the passenger side. Problem is got it to turn but the bushing is also turning. Didn't have much time to mess with it. i tried a few things with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Its the bolt right behind the back seat.
I soaked the bolts for two days before doing the lift.
All the bolts where easy except this one. I broke a few extentions before getting the whole thing to turn.
 






Torch and vise grips. Thats what I used on mine. Usually its the front ones that are pains though...
Good Luck!
 






if you dont have big vise grips, you can try a pipe wrench, that normally works as well
 






definitely heat the bolt with a propane torch. that will loosen the threadlock and make it a LOT easier to remove them
