talking to a guy that had to replace one of the bushings , its the one with the vertical bolt, the bolt goes through an aluminum sleeve and seizes in fast. so he said to lube the bolt while you can otherwise it isnt coming out. you have to drop the frame down to get at the top to grind or cut it off,,

I removed these on my car to replace the bushings... the bolts came out no problem.

If you live in an area with a lot of salted roads things might be worse. Wurth Rost-off or another penetrant oil might be helpful. Spray it on the day before and let it work it's way in.
