If we're talking about te same part, BTDT, and it's a bear.

IIRC, the two bolts thread into nuts or someting else with a thread imbedded in the rubber bushing. The problem is probably that the rubber is shot and wont hold the thread in place as you try to back out the bolts, so ou're wrenching and getting nowhere.

I wound up grinding the heads off both bolts, then beating the shaft of the bolt back in as far as it would go. It took a little flexing (NOT bending, though that may be necessary) to nurse and wiggle the stub of one of the bolts out of the holes in the base, and lift the whole out.
