lever the control arm down, and it should come out, a bit of wiggling might be needed

I probably should have explained a lil better. We can't get the big bolt that holds the strut to come undone. We vice grip the strut then unbolt the top. But the vice grip keeps slipping

Best to do when weight is still on the car or just use a rattle gun for that top bearing nut. then to take springs out just whip the spring hat and strut top off the side and then wind the spring out through the tower :D

I cut the springs in my car in about 30mins :D
