Leave the nut on the end of the bolt and hit it with a hammer use a punch if ya got one....also jack up your rear end so the shock is extended as much as possible.. And just because the bolt spins does not mean it's not stuck. Mine would spin too but a plasma cutter is what finally got it out....:ermm:

we put a screwdriver in the end of the screw and hit it hard with a hammer it didnt even move a little bit.

but it spins so i dont know
