front lower control arm
Trying to pull off the right lower control arm, and the rear bolt came out easily, but the front seems to be incredibly stuck. The bolt will turn if I use a cheater bar on my socket wrench, but just barely. I thought if I could get it to back out a little, the threads would engage and I could actually unscrew it, so I am also trying to press it out from behind with a C-clamp at the same time, but it's actually starting to bend the clamp.
Anybody run into this? If so, what did you do? I could use some suggestions, thanks!

Re: front lower control arm
Sounds like your bolt is rusted inside the bushing sleeve. Hard to get in there but I'd try a good size hammer. Worst case you can use a sawzall and and cut along the sides of the bushing. Pain, but will work. Hammer is the best bet.
