It probably is stuck. 13 years of road salt adds up.

Heat and big hammers. My suggestion, let someone else do it.

Well the other side did not come out as easily, in fact I dropped the lower cntrl arm and took both out together. I think I can get a better swing with my hammer now, or I'll get it pressed out by someone.
