First of all you can not powdercoat stock a-arms because they do not have removable ball joints. If the bolt is seized, grind the head of the bolt off with a die grinder and then punch it through the opposite way so you can get a better swing and make better contact. If that doesnt work, cut the bolt in half carefully between the outside of the a-arm and the inside of the frame mount. It worked for me. -Max

just remembered someone told me when i was having the same problem. put the nuts back on and fit like a socket or something as filler to pry against. then loosen one of the nuts against eachother and the socket wich will in turn push eachother out one will pop and the other can be puched easily
