bolt on the left.
nut on the right.

First, I removed the nut on the right. ok.
Second, I tried to remove the bolt but I could not loosen the bolt on the left. Too tight...
Hammer, WD-40, Shake. All failed. It does not move a bit.
Any other advice? Please help me.

I have no experience with these cars but sometimes those bolts can be splined and will have to be pushed out no turned.

Put nut back on the bolt partially to protect the threads. Then use hammer to push bolt out. You may have to take some pressure off the strut assembly from under the lower control arm. There is a lot of torque being applied from downward pressure from the strut.

I bought a big hammer.
I put a nut and hit it very quickly.
Finally, I removed it.
Thank you for you...:)
