How the hell. Maybe mine is just stuck.. I don't know. I've tried to get it off using a hammer hitting the LCA towards the front of the car.

I've followed the directions here, but I dont get one thing. It says remove the bolt? What bolt? If its referring to the bolt under the balljoint, how do I get that out? (Step 3) Maaan.. its just been a long day.

:help:
