I was able to get the bolt to turn. I put a socket on the top of the bolt instead of the nut. Nut was on top side.

I watched and read your posting. Thanks.

I think I just need to remove the bolt that holds the trailing arm to control arm. Should I expect the bolt to just fall out when nut is removed? When I go to put back in later, will I need to put some load on the LCA by putting a jack under the control arm and raising. Might seem like dumb questions but it helps when I know what to expect. I am assuming I do not need to touch the front bolt on the trailing arm.
Thanks,
David
