I bought the whole front suspension off of a Turbo Z from a junkyard 
in Madison, WI. I could *not* get the arms disconnected from the 
frame, so I took it to a machine shop. I paid them $60 for an hour of 
work that didn't accomplish anything except break more than $60 worth 
of their tools (so I paid them for nothing and they still lost money 
on the job).

Eventually, I took the whole thing back to the junkyard and claimed 
that the parts were warranted to be useful, and they weren't useful 
to me if neither I nor the machine shop could get them apart. Within 
an hour the junkyard owner had burned the bolts out with a torch. He 
was very skilled with the torch, because the bushings were only a 
little bubbled  but the bolts were gone gone gone.

Sorry it's not very hopeful, but I still wish you the best of luck.
