Teddy,
you didn't forget to _completely_ remove the long bolts holding the ball 
joint fingers in the hub, did you? :)

The  ball joint fingers have grooves in them, so unless you remove those 
bolts _completely_, you won't be able to remove the control arms no 
matter what size of a sledgehammer and pry bar you'll be using.
