I just dropped the front suspension in my camaro, I was looking at the bushings and noticed that the old rubber ones were pretty shot! I decided to go with some new poly bushings but getting the old ones out is turning out to be a huge pain. I talked to someone already and they said that the metal bushing sleeve is most likely rusted to the bolt, which makes sense because I can get the nuts off of all the bolts, but none of the bolts will even spin. Any suggestions? Will heating them up help?

Those get rusted on HARD. I would recommend a 1/2 impact & some prayers, or a torch and try not to mind the smell
