Yup a torch and a heavy duty hydraulic press does the trick ... I had the same problem . The steel sleeves rust on the the bolt and are fused to the bolt .
I ended up taking both to a machine shop to get them off ...
Hope you can have better luck with a torch and hammer ... but odds are you will have to get new bolts from pounding on them so hard .

The Suspension Install Begins Now !!!
Its about time for the install .... started on it last week and ran into a few issues . Some rust in the rear strut wells . It was to be excepted and I did fine some ... lucky enough that it was not to bad .. I was able to grind it away and clean it up .
Unfortunately the rear strut spring top hat were bad enough that I am not going to use them ... had to order up some new ones .. so thats been my delay now . I will have all the suspension buttoned up by this weekend .. so lots more pictures to follow .
