PB blaster for the win!!!! Also, if you look in On Demand 5 or Mitchell, removal of the rear LCA bolts is actually unnecessary to remove the spring. You must unbolt the shock from the trailing arm, pull the assembly down as much as you can, then use the spring compressor that canadian tire carries as a lend-a-tool. For the front McPherson strut, you must unbolt the bottom of the shock from the steering knuckle, then gently pry it out with a good pry bar. After that, you just have to unbolt it from the tower and yank her out, compress the spring, remove the pillow bearing, insert new spring, reinstall and get an alignment.
