[DML] partial TAB success

Group,
Yesterday I finally had the time to change my trailing arm bolts to
Toby-TAB's. I am fortunate enough to have a mechanic's pit with a lift at work, so i
had the best of both worlds. unfortunately, i was only able to do the
passenger side bolt, which came apart rather easily. the driver's side bolt was a
different story. the nut came off fine enough, but that's as far as i got. i
was unable to get the bolt to move even a millimeter!! i put the nut back on
the threads and wacked it with a hammer about 200 times and even put a 19mm
socket on a 1/2" drive breaker bar with a pipe on the end (about 30" leverage) to
try and turn the bolt. i MIGHT have turned it about 1/2 a turn, but it was
inconclusive. it was getting late so i finished the passenger side and put
everything else back together.
What do i do to get the driver's side bolt out? the passenger side was a
little rusty and was probably moderately bent. i could see it bent a little bit
halfway down. makes me want to REALLY get that driver's side out now!
Thanks for the tips -
Andy
