Problem with lift kit

I have a 2000 2wd Ranger, and am putting on 3" body lift. Everything is going great until I try to take off the cab mounts. The bushing and bolt just spins on the threaded washer, and we can't find a way to hold the flat, threaded washer to take off the bushing.

Anybody know how to get it off? Is there a special tool that I need to hold the threaded washer? Thanks for the help.

Problem with lift kit

Yeah. I put a lift on my 2K 4WD ranger. We had to get a pipe wrench and pry against the washer while using a 1/2" drive socket and wratchet with the handle of a jack around the handle of the wratchet so we could slowly twist the bolt and get enough torque to break the bolt loose. A breaker bar might work too. All I have to say is..... have fun!!! Maybe if you're lucky, your last bolt will come off easy like mine did. If you have any more questions let me know.
