Trouble removing front LCA bolt.

I'm having trouble in pull out a bolt on my Right Front LCA, its number 44 (http://shbox.com/1/front_suspension.jpg) but the bolt is on the passenger side.. I tried hammering it out with no luck, doesnt even move.

Any suggestions?

Bigger hammer? Is the head stripped or anything? Use a really big breaker bar?

I had the same problem just two days ago , with mine I had to hammer on the LCA with a rubber mallet, the bushing sleeve was causing some kind of interference with the bolt once I gave it a couple good wacks the LCA and bushing slid back in the bracket and the bolt was free, hope this helps yours.
