Default Raptor A-Arm bushings..... how did you guys remove that bolt?

I'm trying to replace the a-arm bushings on my Raptor but the upper a-arm bolt is damn near impossible to remove. There is also NO SPACE to really wack at it with a hammer. Anyone have remedy?

what a smart aleck


try using a long screwdriver to get it started by beating against the bolt

once it starts to move punch against the ridge created by the bolt head

having someone turning the bolt with a rachet at the same time is also helpfull

Yes bumper and shocks are removed. I spent a few hours and nothing. I will see if I can get my son to turn it as I wack away at it. There is just no real good angle to get to it. I will try again tomorrow. The bushings are ALL shot and I want to ride next weekend.
