Soaked the SB bushing bolts for 2 days in penetrating oil and two still snapped. Drilled them out and replaced with bolts/nuts. Keep in mind, you only have to remove 2. The other two just need to loosen because the mounts are slotted. The ones I managed to remove I had to turn a bit, then retighten, then turn a bit more, retighten, etc for about 20 minutes until I was comfortable they weren't going to snap. Ugh.
