Default reat strut flang bolt

I am putting struts and springs on my 2001 gsr. I ran into some problems with the rear strut flang bolt. The flang bolt that connects the bottom of the strut to the lower arm. I can not get it to loosen. The rubber bushing won't allow it to turn. I already broke the head off of the drivers side and don't really want to break the passenger side. Any suggestions or experience based help. THnx

PB Blaster the snot out of the unbroken one. Use some heat if needed also.
Good luck! I snapped both mine off.
I had to sawzall the bolts to get the shock off, then replace the bushing. New OEM bolt loaded with antiseize.
