Subframe CA bolt won't come loose!!

[Garageaholic]

The control arm bolts that go into the subframe. I got the nuts off, but those fuckers are fused to the subframe. I have no idea how else to get that loose...It's hard to get to, so chisseling it out is not easy... I used PB blaster and i'll let it set overnight.

Any suggestions on how to get these studs out??

Wack with a BFH

That's the thing. I can't get a hammer in there.. I broke my BIG prybar and now it's being used as a 2' chisel to get down to the bolt.... other than that, i really dont know what else to do except pound away at it...

Hit the control arm where the ball joint is under the subframe. Like... towards the wheel well and parallel with the ground. Dont wack up on it and you cant wack on top of the stud I know.

aaah okay, i'll give that a try. thanx will. i really appreciate it.. hopefully the pb blaster has taken effect..

Yea, let it soak for a little bit then just keep wacking at it. Other than that... I dunno what else you can do. Maybe pry on the subframe and have the other end on the control arm. Or pry on top of the stud or something.

Do the same thing with ball joints on tie rods/control arms.
