Control arm from the back of the hub? Do you mean separating the ball joints on the control arm from the spindle???..... Just take out the cotter pin and take off castle nut and then just put a piece of wood on the top of the stud and hit it out with a hammer, you don't want to mushroom the top otherwise won't get the nut back on after.

Get a large prybar, and pry down on the control arm. At the same time, give the spindle a couple good whacks with a BFH, it should pop right out.

Yup -- that's all that it should take

Well guys wasnt the control arm bushing...was the sway bar to frame bushing. The bushing wasnt originally put on right and the sway bar itself was rubbing on the frame..easy fix!
