Need help removing bolt on upper control arm
like the title says we have it loose but need help getting it to back out as something is in the way maybe the starter or something. I just have no room to swing a hammer to get it to move so i need a tip/trick that people have used to remove the upper arms on the frame end. Thanks in advance. ( also i did search but if you could point me to the right thread that would be great too.)

i had issues with my passenger frame side upper control mount and got a closed end wrench, used a heavy hammer and swung as hard as a could with about 8 inches of room to swing. with the addition of pb blaster on the nut for about 30 minutes. it took a little while but finally broke loose
thanks guys i eventually got it out. I think the main colprit was that the track bar was putting such a load on it that it got stuck in the middle. I couldnt even get a punch in the middle to get it out. then of course after i removed that and cut/removed the bolt on the axle side i was able to move the upper arm freely letting that bolt move freely as well. 5 bucks for two bolts to replace those and all was well again lol.
