    Does anyone know how to remove this sucker? I've been cranking at it for a while and it won't budge! The lower control arm moves with it!

    I had the same problem with mine. The factory bushing seized with the bolt and some heat via a torch and alot of small fires I got it loose. Make sure to get a new bolt and you molylube once you get the old bolt out.

    breaker bar usually does em in.......... i leave the spindles connected to undo the nut though so you dont get the excessive movement.
