Front suspension woes

any updates?

I had that issue with the upper control arm bolt-- (no torch) if you can turn the bolt -- keep moving it back & forth, I finally had to use a sawzall to cut off a portion of the bolt.(inside the frame mount)

as for the steering knuckle-- that should be released b4 any tension has been released from the suspension.

have you tried the 2 hammer method?(2 ball peins)
place a hammer on the joint-- smack the snot out of it with another hammer, move around the joint & when you hit it just right the joint separates.

same thing for the lower ball joint.
