I got the control arm all unbolted, its basically just sitting it place.
Now I'm not sure how to go about removing the thing.

Does anyone have any insight on how to get it out?
I wasn't able to attempt to because I need a hand from a buddy, but if any one has some ideas to remove the lower control arm from experience, that would be awesome.

Thanks.

Has anyone had problems putting the control arm back in?
When I go to tighten the bolt that goes parallel to th ground towards the back of the car, it threads in about 3/4 of the way and then just continues to spin, but not easy enough that you can do it by hand.
I don't think these are stripped though because it does it on both side and when I was removing that bolt it took a real long time to get out as well. It took a couple minutes of turning the bolt for it to come out.
Is this normal? Or is my subframe stripped?
