HELP! 4kq front control arm removal problem

[Brady Moffatt]

Hi All,

I've removed all nuts and bolts from the front control arms on my parts car
4kq, and I can't get the ball joint tab to slide out of the control arm.
Everything else is out.

What to do? I'll try putting the control arm bolts back in at the bushing,
then hammer outwards on the lower part of the strut, but I don't think I'll
be able to get much behind it.

Any hints?

Back to the garage....

Cheers,
