This job gets worse and worse. I think disassembling with a sawzall would be easier.

- I broke the two hard brake lines on the left side.
- I broke the tie rod end on the left side.
- Steel sleeve on the drop link bushing was frozen to the thru-bolt. I broke the U-tab on the A-arm trying to free it up. All the sway bar bolts on the left side are frozen solid.
- I tore the ball joint boot, and dented the metal beneath. The strut still doesn't want to come off. I may go rent a pickle tool.
- Somehow, I tore the front wheel bearing seal.

I'm barely into the right side, and it's 86 degrees, no shade.
