Removing lower control arm

Any trick to removing? All the bolts are out but it won't move. Do I need a BFH or is there a special way to pry it out.

Thanks Guys!

just keep pulling it and wiggling it a crowbar will help too.

Could use a lil more info on whats actually stuck, but I am going to take a guess and say you are stuck at the ballstud? These usually need a few clean hits from a hammer to break it lose. Hit the knuckle where the ballstud is located with a hammer and see if that does the trick. If not, you may need to use a pickle bar and a hammer to knock it out. The pickle bar will rip your ball joint boot though, so don't use it unless you have too.

Again, could use a lil more info, but hope this helps.
