Ok, on the bottom A-Arm where the bolt with the cotter pin is that hooks up to the brake. I can't get that bolt out. Any tips or anything i should know? I already beat the crap outta it and it still wont budge.

I wasn't aware that the bottom joint attached to the brake directly. I think your talking about the bottom ball joint where it attaches to the spindle possibly!? You will need an automotive tie-rod puller. Its like a long fork that you stick in between the joint and the arm and wail on it with a hammer. Other than that put the nut back on the threads and then wail away with the hammer. Leave the nut on to prevent the joint from mushrooming. I hope this helps Im not sure if this is what you were refering to.
