IF by chance you do damage the bolts, http://www.hardware909.com/, has LCA bolt kits. (if you are talking about LCA bolts). be careful with heat though, because you can burn up your bushings REALLY quick.

- Tue Jan 08, 2013 12:54 am #323482 Like mentioned, the bolts seize on to the metal collar inside the bushing. Using penetrating oil is just almost useless. A tiny bit of heat and take your time with an impact gun, making small hits of the trigger at a time to avoid snapping the bolt. If it's badly seized, you may run into the issue of the metal collar inside the bushing spinning and that bolt won't come out leaving you with cutting it off. Take your time, do NOT use a breaker bar or you WILL break the bolt. Impact gun with a bit of patience is your absolute best bet.
