Default I need some help...

Hey, so I am trying to put my leveling kit on. I have got almost all of the bolts off that i need to except for one last annoying one. I cant get the longer bolt that is on the bottom of the shock that the shock swivels on. I got the nut off and after pounding on it i got it to slid out alittle bit but I cant get it out to save my life! This is the only thing holding me up so if you could help me that would be amaaaaazing im desperate!!! Thank you very much!!

Apply pressure from different angles and then try and hammer it out?

PB Blaster, Torch if you can get it on the threads and not get the shock too hot. Try to spin it with an air gun. That'll usually do it, if not there's some big pressure on that bolt

Have you used a prybar or large screwdriver to pry upward on the shock to relieve pressure?

I agree with relieving pressure and I would take a long screwdriver and a hammer and tap it out
