lower control arm toytoa truck

Can someone please tell me why I can not remove the rear bolt from both lower
control arms in a 1988 toytoa truck?

I remove the front bolts like butter then after using a 5lb hammer on the
rear and removing the lower ball joint I can not get the back to move out,
but can get them to move a little left or right by lifting/lowering the
control arm.

I have tryed for hours with no luck-Any ID,s ?

I have a 89 pickup standard bed 2 wheel drive. The torsion bar is
attached to the lower control arm isn't it. The bar replaces a coil
spring and pulls down the lower control arm. You should put the lower
control arm bolts back in so nothing flies out and then loosen the bolt
and locknut that pushes on the little arm that pushes on the torsion
bar to release tension on it. Once all the tension is gone you can
remove torsion bar by putting a vice grip on it and hammering it off.
Then remove lower control arm bolts.
