Default Help!

Alright so i just got tubular lower control arms and have everything unbolted except for the lower bolts on the LCA's. I have the nut off but the bolts just keep spinning in place. I sprayed pen. oil on it and everything but no luck. I tried pounding them out but the brakes are in the way of getting a good swing. Anyone who has done the LCA swap has this happened to you? Is it just me? Any ideas? My car is in peices in the driveway right now till i figure this out. . .

they're bound in the suspension

get two jacks one on the axle tube and the other on the lower control arm and gently go up and down with them till bolt slides out

oooo so you just have to get the right angle and theyll come out? They suspension is all the way free. The only thing still attached right now is the upper control arms, u joint, and the brake lines.
