LCA/Strut Rod removal question

BullsIgt said
LCA but when I try it feels like I'm just twisting the bushing and the pivot rod is just spinning with the nut.

As above, impact if possible. Usually you can get a pry bar up in there and put enough force on the pin to stop it from spinning. Then you can pry on the LCA and push it back some and start the T bar out

Also the bushings for the strut rod were pretty much non existent and it looks as though the rod is bent pretty bad .............. should I just go ahead and bite the bullet and buy the adjustable ones?

I donooo.... depending on how bad, I would not be afraid to straighten them, a judgement call. Might put out a want on here, too.
