How to remove rear control arm

I am half way through removing my rear control arm on my Mazda Rx8. The camber bolt is out, I have disconnected the sway bar and I have removed the nut on the wheel hub.

How do a remove the bolt from the wheel hub does it slide out downwards with force or do you need to unscrew it using the alan wrench hole on the top of the threaded bolt.

Thanks for any help?

The alan wrench hole is there to hold the center still while you unscrew the nut.
