Ditto. Replace all lines that are not new. Get a new T-fitting. Rubber and steel. Brake lines like coolant hoses go bad from the inside out.
Any crud that was in the lines will now be in your calipers and wheel cylinders . Always flush/replace lines BEFORE you connect to new calipers/wheel...

So you got the nut off but the rest of the bolt wont come out of the bushing sleeve ?
Disconnect upper ball joint from spindle so you have full range of motion on the upper control arm. This will give you more room to work.
May be time for a torch to burn the bushing out and loosen the rust...
The last thing that you set on an alignment is toe.
First inspect the entire front suspension for worn, damage parts. Remeber that you will get dimension stacking on the steering components. That means that a little movement of a tie rod can be added to the inner and outers. 1/8" each is 1/2"...

"At its core, a sway bar is really just a torsion spring—a piece of metal that reacts to a...
Seam sealer, expanding foam. What ever you want. It is just a weather sealer to keep the water out of the kick panel areas. Over the years the factory used different materials, but for the same purpose. Also just prime the area under the hinges, both body and door sides. The hinges should be...
