on the rear, lower, outboard side long bolt, I have no problem getting the nut off on each side. How do you get the long bolt out. It won't budge (on either side) not even with an electric impact. I've also tried hammering it out

I'm giving up for the day. I have it soaked in PB Blaster. If I can't break it loose tomorrow with an impact or a hammer, I'll borrow my son's propane torch. All the other bolts came out easily in the rear except for these. My car only has 52K on it
Thanks all
Thanks all

I had to replace wheel bearing recently. I pulled the top bolt, swung the knuckle down so you can see the exposed portion of the long bolt. Then used a torch to heat the whole thing and rubbed a candle on it. The wax liquifies and gets pulled inside the joint. Then just using a wrench to turn the bolt, get it moving and repeat until you can knock it out. After just a few minutes, one hammer whack sent it flying out. The great thing about wax is that it gets drawn to wherever you put the heat.
