Hit the bolt head with a hammer. That can help fracture the rust & allow the PB-Blaster to penetrate better.

What exactly is your question? The control arm is relatively easy to remove from the car. Once outside you will have a better shot of repairing it. I created my own jig to remove those bushings. You can purchase the complete arm with bushings and a ball joint it's more expensive but a sure shot. I removed my bushings in order to install polyurethane bushings. I am restoring my 96 accord as i go.
