Use a propane torch and heat the bracket the bolt threads into just enough to get the bolt to break loose. They have a factory loc-tite, the heat will help soften that as well as help the bracket 'grow' to let the bolt out.

I would run down to the hardware store and pick up a propane torch and camping fuel bottle. I have used this countless times getting things unstuck, saves headaches.
