if you got the bolt out of the LCA that attaches to the shock, and you coulnd't get the bolt that connect to the LCA and the trailing arm, you should have dropped the end that connects to the sub frame on the other end there usually not seized at all



the few i've done both the outter bolts on the rear lca have been stuck but not siezed...

if they brake em get new bushings put in... if they drill them out and its not a perfectly straight hole or something messes up your in for some knocking noise..

well if a garage breaks em, they are responsible and any knocking noise that is encountered after their fix. which is why i would recommend getting em loosened from a garage. if they have to put in new bushing because they broke the bolt, then it's their problem (i'd pay them for the bushings though).
