lower control arm removal

[240DRFT]

i'm having a problem removing the lower arm in the front. its not the end by the knuckle, its the inside end. i got the nut off the bolt but the bolt is stuck in the bushing and it just turns when you use a wrench. it looks like i just need to hit it out with a hammer, but i cant fit a hammer in there cuz the tie rod is in the way. could someone please help me, anything will help.

hose the area down with some penetrating lube, around the bushing and all. Get a long metal pipe and a rubber mallet. Put the pipe on the end of the bolt and hit the other end of the pipe with the mallet. repeat until it comes out, otherwise, you'll need a blow torch and or dremel tool.

good call. a nicely bent prybar may help too. the alternating of penetrating oil and turning with wrench is good.
