I'm assuming you got the nut off. so try using a impact on the bolt head.. chrip the gun so it spins the bolt to try and break down any grease/rust/grime that may be holding you up. May want to try a air hammer with a narrow bit long enough to fit in the hole too. last resort.. heat with the same techniques impact and air hammer. just my $ .02 then of course buy a new one if its destroy it.

You're probably going to have to sawzaw it off between the frame and swingarm on both sides. It sounds like the bolt rusted to the sleeve. Mine did the same thing had to buy a new bolt and dust caps.
