Rear No.1 Control Arm problem

[flight doc89]

I am trying to install the adjustable toe kit from A-1 Racing on my 88 supra. This kit replaces the no. 1 control arms (the round arm with the mount for the sway bar). The arm has a metal bushing on the frame end that the cam bolt goes through, but the bolt won't fit through the bushing. The end of the bolt barely goes into it, and then won't go in any more. Any ideas?

Well, i got the sleeves machined, but i have a new problem:

I got the first arm on, but when i went to work on the other arm, BOTH bolts are frozen. The cam-bolt is frozen in the bushing, and the mount-bolt at the wheel end is stuck in the mount.
I've heated them, soaked them with penetrating oil, hammered them, and murdered them with the airhammer,but they won't budge and i'm outta ideas. Can u guys help?

Cant cut them off?

I can cut the cam-bolt and the arm would drop down at that end. If i cut the bolt in the wheel assembly, the arm would drop out, but the bolt would still be frozen in the assembly. When i get a chance to drive back home, i'm gonna heat it with an oxy/acetylene torch, and go from there.

I cut the bolts off, and ordered new ones from Toyota. What a bitch that was!
