Pry bar between the CA and the subframe and pull... it will come.

at first glance all I saw was pull it out and pick up truck

immediatly got a picture in my head of a cavi on scissor jacks and a chain wrapped around the control arm and the trucks rear bumper and that truck just revving up

with alot of the people on this board, such a thing would not suprise me
