Red face help needed with trailing arms

I' m in the middle of installing my new adjustable trailing arms on my FD. My problem is, on the ball end off the trailing arm. Once got the nut off the bolt, I couldn't get the bolt out to come out it just keep spinning in place so, how do i get it out ?

my bolts came out relatively easy. it did involve smacking the bolt with a small hammer though.

and depending on which trailing arms you got, make sure you make a note of which side the trailing arm is on in the pocket on the ball end as you called it.

You probably need to find a way to tap or pry the bolt loose. It is likely that there is some corrosion between the bolt and the spacer(s) causing those parts to stick together. Spray some penetrating oil and let it soak in if you have some time -- that may help as well.
