Impact? I didnt have any problems with mine either. I would say either that end of the say bar link is spinning when you try to loosen it. Hit it with an impact you can rent one from a local auto parts store and its electric if you dont have a compre..

Put a set of vice grips on the back side of the bolt. Should help it from spinning. Also try using an air hammer to spin the nut faster then the bolt can spin. Normal problem.

if you push the rubber back some you may see a tiny bolt like washer. You should be able to get something to grip that and spin off the nut.
