Front UCA shaft bolt removal

[stickybones]

Any tips on removing the driver's side front upper control arm mounting shaft/bolt from the frame? The one toward the front of the car. Evidently I need to push it out in order to remove the UCA since there isn't enough room to get the UCA shaft off with the steering shaft and all in the way. I can't get the UCA mounting bolt to budge and back out of the frame.

You know, if I didn't want the damn thing to spin and fall out and all, it would. Now I want it out and it's like welded in there.

There's no place for leverage to use a pry bar to try to push it out or get a hammer in there and bang it out.

It's always something.

Never mind. I got it. A little bit of wiggling persuasion and it came loose.

I knew you could do it with a little gentle language.

Yeah. The four letter variety.
