Lower curved control arm help PLEASE
Anyone have any bright ideas on how to remove the bolt on the front lower curved control arm on the pass side?
I've read Kris Hansens write up on his site which says he wiggled it under the fuel lines but I have no idea how thats possible...there is just no room. I also read BSK's write up in the tech section which says to loosen the lower subframe bolt and it will come right out...I have loosened all 3 bolts on the plate and still cant get it past the fuel lines.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I told BeeJ a great tip on the subframe a couple weeks ago
Basically, support the front of the frame with two jack stands, and remove the bolts at the rear of the frame. You can then lower the frame enough to remove the bolts.

worked like a charm. Just make sure you get some stand or some blocks so the subframe doesnt come slamming down. When you get the bolts off, you will just see how bad it oculd be if you dont have jacks/blocks there to support it.
Once you do this, it is incredibly easy, i felt like a retard for not being able to do it the first time. Good luck.
