Default 1 bolt shy of removing my lower control arm...help!

So I have my 2000 SS up on jackstands, the front end is tore out (most of it) so I can replace the bushings with polys. Well, I'm stuck on my passenger side lower control arm and I'm sure the drivers side will present the same problem. I cant figure out how to get the front bolt past the steering rack. Tie rod, back bolt all came off easily. I REALLY dont want to touch the steering past the tie rods.

Turn the steering wheel to the lock.

LOL. Thanks. That, of course, worked.

This was definitely one of those times I've been at one task too long without a break and unknowingly put blinders on.
