im trying to install my eibach springs and i got my swaybar off the rearend, pre-loaded a rear spring and couldnt get the a-arm to differential bolt loose. i mean that thing is on there, i snapped 2 sockets and couldnt get it off with an impack socket and impact gun. i was going at it from the inside, maybe hit it from the outside? what have you guys done?

Spray the hell out of it with PB Blaster, let it sit for a few hours and do it again. Are you sure you don't have either too much pressure on the control arm or too little and its binding the bolt? I've had mine out numerous times and I never had a problem once I got enough pressure on the control arm to take pressure off the bolt. I hope that helps. You did mean the LCA and not the front A arm correct?
