Can't get Trac Bar Off...

Okay - doing the '03 Conversion on my '97... I unbolted the rubber bushing on the passenger side (F) no problem - then I pulled the nut from the driver side ball joint (7) and cannot get it out for nothing - I have beaten, pryed, and tried grinding the bolt off but gave up until I know what it is that I am doing wrong. I even lifted the passenger end so that it wouldn't be in a bind...

Any help greatly appreciated... A torch is next.
