What I ended up doing on one side was to remove the brakes, wheel hub, and brake shield (if I am remembering correctly), and then I had access to hammer out the bolt from the outside in. Worked great, just involved some disassembly. Use the standard practice of leaving the nut on, loosened so it is flush with the end of the bolt, so when you hammer it you don't flatten out the bolt end. I have a 4 lb. hammer and a brass punch. Been awhile since I did it but it sure beats trying to drill or cutout that monster. Spray it with PB Blaster and beat the hell out of it.
