make sure you jack up the leaf spring to take tension off. If the bolt is hard to turn, something is not right and you will end up stripping the bolt. It should turn fairly easy... hope this helps!

yes, the rubber bushing will most likely be vulcanized (sp?) to the lower a-arm giving you difficulty in turning it. Once its free, it should spin very easy if there is no pressure on the bolt to the lower arm
