Installing 2.5” lift. Loosened kdss valves 3 rotation and LC is on 4 jackstands. Rear install of shocks/coils/airbags went fine. Using OTRAMM video as my guide but encountering problem up front getting ball joint loose from upper spindle. (Circled in red blow). Nut came off fine but not able to to break uca from spindle loose with hammer. Hit it with sledge hammer also fairly solid but dont want to f this up guessing my next move. Tried to remove the steering arm like shown in Project 200 video, nut comes off but cant break arm free (circled in yellow below). Went bak to OTRAMM video, followed his instructions including the points to loosen sway bar, but now sway bar has rotated upward, preventing any shot of getting arm off (circled in green below). Southern LC200 with 70k miles no rust. Never had problems getting anything loose - appreciate the help.
