Spray some PB blaster in there. It did wonders for me when my damaged wheel stud wouldnt come out.

Looks like the metal sleeve inside the bushing decided to rust to the bolt, making it difficult as hell to extract.

Let some PB Blaster work it's magic. If not, a few blows from a mallet with a drift might further loosen it up...

The front bolts on the leaf springs of my 67 coupe did the same thing. I had to cut them off with an angle grinder
