I'm changing the bushings in my upper control arms to Paul Gray's urethane ones. I jacked up the car and started taking it apart. I already removed the cotter pin (which was a pain), removed the 22mm bolt that held the ball joint in place. I also removed the sway bar. Now I CAN'T get the ball joint out. I tried hitting the end of it with a hammer, but it won't budge. Is there an easier way to get it out? I also can't get the bolt that goes through the bushing out. The space up there is too tight even with the sway bar removed. How should I go about taking this bolt out? Space if VERY LIMITED! TIA guys.

Wes
