That's you're torsion bolt, get an impact wrench or long pipe with a ratchet to crank on it .

I Should Be Loosening those Bolts to Take out the Torsion bars, right? Not Tightening them...

lol when I raised mine back up, one side was so stuck it actually turned the "t-bolt" at the top all the way around once But it finally broke free. Penetrating lube works the best imo with a nice 1/2" pull bar.
