bent lower control arm

[BigRy]

So I hit a piece of ledge in my yard last night and bent the shit out of my left lower control arm on my 03 Viper...I already ordered a new one and should have it Monday. I ran into a problem while trying to get the bent arm off of the sled. I can't get the inside bolt and nut off. I removed the pipe and left side front brace, but still have limited leverage and it won't seem to budge. I have the sled jacked up to take pressure off everything. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Any help out there?! Not to worry, I had to heat the nut up with a torch to get it off...Damn they were on tight!

Whatever Yamaha uses for "locktite" from the factory is some serious stuff!
