Just went through this. Instead of fighting it, just get a grinder with a cutting wheel, slide it inbetween the spring and the frame mount and cut that dang bolt right off, takes maybe 5 mins, but that darn bushing sure stinks as your cutting the bolt off! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> As for the front bolt and it's funky mounting setup, I just made a replacement, took an hour or so and came out pretty good, than I just welded that sucker on so I could use a normal bolt. When you get the old one off, you'll notice it just looks like a big washer attached to that plate/bolt assembly. Good luck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
