Default Front LCA Removal Issues

Hi All,

I need some help. I've got to replace my front LCAs, so I picked up the GT500 replacements. I'm having a really tough time getting the current LCAs out. I can't get the arm separated from the steering knuckle. I've read the directions on AM and have been prying at it for quite a while. It just won't budge past 1/2 way out. Any advice???

Hit it with a hammer. Really, smack it with a hammer right where the ball joint goes into the spindle. Also spray it with some penetrating oil.
