I got a new 8.8 with 3.73. I cant get the lower control arms off the old 8.8 the bolt spins easy but wont come out. I hit it with a hammer and a prybar wont budge. Any input would help.

If you have stock control arms. Just unbolt them from the other end and buy and install after market control arms with your new rear. The inside bushing sleeves are rust welded to control arm bolts. Even if you get them off, your going to tear up something in the process.
