A-arm removal

Well, the good friends at corvette forum helped get me out of the a-arm removal problem. Reference this post here:

The trick was putting the castellated nut back on the upper ball joint to avoid it from releasing unexpectedly. Also, I tightened down the coil spring compressor a BUNCH. The whack the fool out of the ball joint with the ball joint remover and then a few whacks on the upper knuckle of the spindle assembly and within 5 whacks of the hammer, pop, it broke loose.

Then just unwind the compressor and wa-la, the lower a-arm is free and the spring comes out no problem. Rinse and repeat on the left hand side.

Thanks Corvette buddies at the forum!
