If your bolt will turn and the bushing isn't too rusted together inside, you can back off your bolt 4 or 5 times then hit the bolt with a hammer to separate the 2 halves.
That's how you're supposed to take them out (when they're new).
If yours will separate, that's the easy way to do it. If they're too rusted together you'll have to go to plan B - sawzall, torch, whatever.

K cool. My biggest issue is fixing the floor and replacing the Cab Support as well. Where the cab bushing is, the metal around it is pretty much gone. I can turn the bottom nut halfway but it's still tough. If I cut thru it, can u buy a bolt & washer at a parts store?
