Rear upper arm bolt seized

Hi all, a little advice please.

I was trying to replace my rear bearings last night and failed because the top bolt which hold the hub on to the upper arm had seized in the bush.

Is heating the best way to remove this and if so what’s the best method?

Thanks

if you are replacing the bush on the hub then it doesnt matter what you used to cut it.
i used skinny 4" angle grinder disc last time i did mine.
cut out both sides but the bolt was still seized solid in the bush.
didnt have spare bush with me... so i drilled the bolt out then used freeze spray to get it all out. 2007 TDV6 RRS HSE..now gone
