Man I got hosed on this job.

On my Chevy this took like 30 minutes, just take the lower shock bolts off, pull the axle down, and the springs will come out.

I had the car all ready, then read my Chiltons. Ok, so I remove the lower control arm bolt and lower it down. Does not sound too bad. Except the (*(**&*&* bolt won't come out. Plus Chiltons said to discard the old bolts anyways. It was too dam hot today so enough of that.

Is there an easier way to do this short of cutting the bolt off? Any tips from guys that have done this in their driveways??
