Alright I got some PB blaster and it worked like a charm on the upper control arm bolts, unfortunately I had already cut the threaded side of the lower bolts off so i can't pound them out, I have to cut. I dropped the housing (pic 1) and now I need to rotate it backwards (cover facing the floor) so I can have easy access to cut off the lower bolts. BTW I tried using a punch and a hammer and they won't come out. Now my problem is I can't rotate it because of what I think is the parking brake cable. I cannot remove this without removing the axles which I do NOT want to do until I have the housing out from underneath the car. My question is how big of a deal is it to cut these cables (one on each side) to get the rear to rotate like it needs to? I never used the parking brake and probably won't I live in the midwest (no hills) and the car will be an automatic. If there IS a way to get it off without taking the axles out please let me know. Otherwise I would appreciate some advice on what to do next. Thanks a ton in advance! See pics labeled rear, cable, and bolt. (http://jimmysashstrat.tripod.com/guitars)
