The bolt that holds on my right front shock on the bottom is seized in the metal part of the bushing and now the shock won't come out of its bracket. I can get off the nut that holds the bolt on but the actual bolt will not slide out. I've tried beating it out with a piece of brass and that won't even work. Can anyone help me? Thanks Stephen.

Penetrating oil and saok it over night applying many of coats or heat the bolt up and beat it out.You could even have a bent bolt??
Actually, Dualstroke has the trick man. You need a quality penetrating lubricant (and NO! WD40 is not a quality penetrating lube) like PB blaster or Kroil and leave it overnight to get a little bit down in there to eat that rust up some.
Also, you may want to ditch the brass punch, they'll just mushroom and come apart on you. Get a steel drift punch in about the same diameter (M10 so about a 3/8" shank drift punch would work) and get a good hard swing on it after some penetrating lube has worked it's magic.
