Okay, This spring break sucks. In the process of install my front struts the lower damper fork bolt got stuck in the bushing of the control arm. Well after a day of trying to get that out with no luck I gave in and decided to just replace the stupid control arm. Well now I cant get the control arm off. I got the rear bolt off easy but the bolt that connects behind the brake and the ball joint is a pain. I cant get it it to lower so I can finish removing the nut on top. I tried a sledge hammer and everything. By any chance is the hole that the bolt of the ball joint goes through threaded? If so do I have to remove the ball from the arm then unscrew the ball joint? If anyone has ever taken their front lower control arm off, PLEASE respond with any tips. This is driving me insane. Thanks

Nevermind, I took my anger out with the sledge hammer some more and it came out. Yay for progress
