Default compensator arm trouble

the toe adjustment arm on my compensating arm will not come off
i think it is due to a bent bracket where the toe adjustment arm goes..

how to fix this?

i assume your talking about on the rear trailing arm, and i assume this is a civic so the bolt won't come out what is most likely happening is its seized in the arm itself, its going to turn and its going to bend the bracket out what you do is turn it all the way out (yes the bracket will bend) then once its out of the sliding nut in the body cut it with a saw zaw or a wizz wheel or a hacksaw, there it falls out bend the bracket back down then replace the bolt and the arm, putting a bit of anti seize on it align and go. thats how i do it on customers vehicles.
