If the bolt turns, all you should need some pressure to push it out while you hit it with the impact. The problem you're having now is that while the impact turns it, there's no pressure to pull it out. Actually the impact is probably applying force that keeps it in. You need pressure from the other side to push it out. Maybe this tool will help. It may even push it out without the impact.
Sorry... I miss links sometimes.


If the OP loosens the toe control arm link (??? Correct term??) and the CV axle he'll be able to twist the strut. That'll give him a better angle on the bolt so he can strike it; like hitting a home run.
