stripping down an old Zesty frame but can't undo one of the pivot bolts.

its bolted in from the other side so I guess you are turning it the wrong way

I've removed the non drive side one which also has the bolt that goes through the rocker and screws into this side. But I can't remove the rocker without getting this side out.

You've had this bike in your shop a few times Sancho, my mate used to get it service there*. He's got a new bike now though so I've had this off him to fix up and see what it's like.

Don't try and undo it from the drive side, undo it from the non-drive side, the inside of the X.
