Spray WD40 to loosen it up. Use a rubber mallet and your ratchet to coerce it out.

 

I'll assume it's an Ingalls kit and I'm afraid my news isn't good. I was able to get two of the OE trailing arms off without too much trouble, but I had a horrible time with the ones on the right side. This was when the car was I think around 3 years old and the New England conditions had already take their toll (think winter salt). What happens is corrosion practically welds the bolt to the steel sleeve inside the bushing (in the end of the trailing arm). I had to use a sawsall on the outer bolt of the rear most arm (the one that's adjustable for toe)(and had to replace the bolt). The real problem was with the forward arm. It was the outer bolt and it goes into a weld nut (a nut that's welded to the car) that is only MM's from the gas tank, so heating it with a torch is out of the question (which wouldn't have helped anyway I came to discover). Sawsall was no good since it would have left me with the bolt (what would be left of it) still in the weld nut. Anyway, we ended up welding a big nut onto the bolt and using a 3/4" drive impact wrench (air) to muscle it out (and replacing that bolt too). Fortunately it didn't break and it did finally come out. These outer bolts are on the curb side, so they're the ones closest to the salty slush that's often on the roads during the winter. I have to assume that's why they were so stubborn. That was a bitch of a job, but it's done and it was worth it. I'd say my experience was not real common since I've never read of anyone having so much trouble (but..... who knows). You don't give much detail about the kind of problems you're having, but maybe you could find a shop that is a little more persistent. I did it myself since I have the tools and the know how, but you may have to find a shop that's more willing to do what it takes.

 

x2. Salt killed those bolts on mine as well and was only a 3 year old car. Horrible design by acura, for people in the north atleast. I do all my own work on my cars but in this case I had to bring it to acura because I didn't have a saw zaw or torch. I did try heating the bolts for a few minutes and did nothing.

 

x3... Had this problem last week. Plan on replacing all four inner bolts. We had to use a torch and 1/2" impact and still 3 out of 4 bolts broke. The last one had to be cut right out. For me the Canadian salt practically welded these bad boys to the car

 

x4 - consider ordering all new hardware before next attempt, plan on a lot of cutting or paying for a few hrs of labor
