Does anybody have any idea what I can try to get this damn control arm off? I got the passenger side off fairly easy with a ball joint separator. When I got going on the driver side it just wouldn’t come off. I’ve done everything, the joint separator, C clamps on the top of the screw part, crow bars, a whole can of wd-40, hammering the shit out of it, and even torching the damn thing. What is left that I can get this thing off with. I would just cut the control arm off but I need to put a new one in and cant break everything in the vicinity of the joint. Please any info would really help. Thanks

I used to have a hell of a time getting lower control arms off until I realized that it's best that you hit the spindle with the sledge instead of the control arm itself.
