lower control arm bolt removal
I would really like to remove the two 19mm bolts without breaking them. Should i heat the nuts welded to the frame and use an impact wrench; penetrating oil and brute force or some other method? thanks

Are you talkinga bout front or rear? I believe the rear has 17mm.
For the front, just spray some PB blaster, use a 1/2 socket+wrench and use your jack pole as a pry bar. Itll come off in a few seconds.
For the rear also use PB blaster. It has never happened to me, but to many people the 17mm tends to break off.

Re: lower control arm bolt removal
Many thanks for all the advise. Three of the 4 bolts were removed with PB Blaster and an impact wrench. The left front took all of the above plus some heat. I'm sure living in Massachusetts only added to this project!!! Again many thanks
