the factory nut with the metal pc is off of the back of the bolt have you removed the other end of the track bar at the frame to take any pressure off of the bolt yet

sounds like the bolt is rusted stuck into the bushing sleeve

hit it with a hammer

when/if that does not work use a MAPP torch, get the bolt red hot and hit it with a hammer
