Please help! Rear shock bushings seized

I currently have a 2005 g35x sedan. I decided to buy coilovers for the car, since I needed new struts anyways. Upon starting the rears, I came to the conclusion that the rear strut bolts are seized to the bushings. I don’t have immediate access to a ball joint press. Any suggestions or advice would help. I don’t want to give up this car, but I’m out of solutions. Please help

Old rust keeps a lot of cars off the road. You can always pre-buy a poly push in bushings, burn the old one out, cut, and then install new… not easy, but may work for you. Sorry you are “stuck” in this situation.

I had to cut one lower shock bolt on my 06X. I think it's fairly common. No big deal. Cut the old bolts with a sawzall and throw all the old garbage out. Get new bolts. Done.
