Same here, ended up using the grinder and hammer + chisel to knock the end of the bolts off. Then pressed the rest of the bush out once the arm was off the subframe and replace with new bushes and bolts.

I decided to completely destroy my 4WS subframe as i was never using it again. Just was careful of the rear LCA's =D

I used a 9inch grinder and cutting disc to cut down next to the LCA's, but the 9inch grinder was slightly.... overkill =D

This is the kind of reason why I'm dreading doing polybushing
