PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
im undecided, with it in the car i have the advantage of both my impact gun fitting in there and having it bolted in so i can use socket and breaker....but if its out i can get a much bigger hammer swing.
the lower ball joint is just held in by like a collar that is tightened with a bolt right? so it sounds like it might not be too much of a ***** to get it out whol...but i prolly just jinxed myself.

yup had the nut on the whole time, all threads are still fully functional, so if i get it out i should atleast be able to use it until i get a new one.

If that doesn't work, then remove the knuckle. The lower ball joint is just held on my that collar on the knuckle. Remove the bolt. You might need to spread the collar with a flat screw driver to slide it off. Just hammer a flat screw driver or wedge in the slit at the back of the collar.
That camber bolt was a ***** on my car the first time I did it also. One side came out with no issues. The other side was a total pain. Ended up using heat and an impact hammer to get it out.

Turn the wheel all the way to one side so you have good access to hit the bolt (nut side)with a hand sledge/BFH
Put the non-frozen bolt back into the other hole, but don't tighten it down. Its just there to keep the knuckle and strut 'centered'.
Keep the nut on the siezed bolt (sounds like you did this already) so you don't deform the threads
use a propane torch to heat the area of the kunckle where the bolt is siezed
Once the kuckle is heated use your hand sledge to whack the side of the bolt with the nut on it and use a wrench on the other side to wiggle the bolt up and down as you beat on it.
It might take several times doing this until you get the siezed bolt to move, but once you do it will eventually come out.
As things cool off spray PB/Aerokroel or whatever you use to keep ish lubed.

Where can we get worker assignments? If you can get me on tech or waivers that would be great. Their forums are down.
There is one guy that was ok to deal with in the parts department at D'Ambrosio last time I was there. I've always had great interactions with Mike at Cherry Hill. Their prices are better and he will take the time to look up a part and actually go out of his way to get something for you. He hooked Tim S up when he needed a tcase seal and it was back ordered. And they never asked me for a vin.
FYI - back in the Keystone State. Crossing the border is crazy ish!
