First thing to try would be some real penetrating oil instead of that Water
Displacement stuff.  Kroil or PB Blaster works much better.

If that doesn't work (and it probably won't), the only solution may be to cut
down through the rubber bushings and the bolt with a hacksaw.  Lots of work, but
if you're careful you can salvage all the other pieces.

Another alternative might be to drill through the center of the bolt.  Start
with a small drill, then keep increasing the size until one edge breaks through.
That should loosen it enough to drive it out.
