It burns when I pee. Kidding. I have a B5 A4 and I went to swap out the suspension today and on the fronts, the bolt that holds the upper front and rear control arm ball joints to the steering knuckle will not come out. I even tried weeping on it, shaming it into extracting itself. No luck though. Every suspension post says these little dogs just slide right out. My car only has 55k on it and nothing will make them budge. Both sides. Anybody?

Did you get it out yet? Sorry to hear about that, sometimes working on an older car is a pain. Soak with DW40, let it sit for 24 hours.
