Then like Merc stated, start grinding/cutting. Don't need old control arm anyway.

Aye... Frustration kicked in for the night, I'll tackle it tomorrow. No point getting under there with a temper while working the sawzall and grinders.

Been there. Can you get one of these from the tool crib?

Blade is just thin enough to get b/t bracket and control arm, which avoids scuffing/cutting into the control arm brackets.

WN... what the hell is that? A portable band saw? I can swing in and ask the carpenter shop as well as the tool crib. I'm up now, slept in a bit (0830), but gonna rip to Canadian Tire for some blades and will stop in on base and see what I can find.

Well this sucks... 2 bolts cut through, going through batteries quickly, and those two cut throughs haven't let me remove the control arms either.

Not sure how I'm going to cut through the upper control arm connected to the frame either, can only get access to one side I think. Joy ;o)
