Sounds like the bolt is broke. Probably will have to take everything off, and saw the nut off the back (it's welded on). Then use a impact hammer to get the rest out.

had a similar problem friday when I put new struts on...gotta beat the shit out of it, I recommend a good wrench. The suspension on the civic is beautiful, very detailed...very unamerican, it's great :thumbup:
