A friend told me it sticks because the metal sleeves in the bearings rust onto the bolt. I aggressively moved the A-arm up and down while turning the bolt and it clearly broke loose. Then I sprayed PB and simply tapped out the bolt with a punch. It was easy.

Now getting the bushings out of the A-arm was another story. Who needs to work out when you can pull on these bushings? A big gooseneck pliers and spray lube worked well enough. Three came out but one deformed so bad the center pulled out leaving the rubber with a metal sleeve stuck inside. I am going to cut it with a saw but not touch the inner bearing surface. It’s Fun!?! I may just take it to work and use a press but it could be harder to fixture than just using the saw and elbow grease.
