Yep
I couldn't get the lower bolt out of the wheel carrier with a 4# hammer --
guess I could leave it on the lower control arm and take the whole thing to

I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to get a quote from a frame/alignment shop

Another job I will get to know in greater detail soon, as the rear

Normally, yes, You can unbolt the bottom of the shock, then unbolt
the outer end of the LCA, with the LCA supported by a floor jack.
