How do you loosen rear LCA rear bolt/nut? (and possibly other questions)

Hi Guys

I'm in the process of swapping out my original springs and struts with the Bilstein B12 kit.

I was wondering how everyone was able to loosen the rear lower control arm rear bushing bolt to drop the control arm. I have the vehicle on stands and I've found trying to loosen the bolt with a standard socket and box wrench pretty difficult to get enough leverage laying on ground. I've also tried a breaker bar and hit it with some PB-50.

Thanks in advance, I'm sure there are more questions to come. I'm trying to get at least the rear suspension does this weekend.
