So, if I thread it inwards it will drop down enough to remove it? Or am I still going to have to swing the control arm forward?
Edit: Right now I am considering getting a spring compressor and removing the LCA to do the job. If I can do the job with out damaging the lower BJ's on the process. I did notice a few cracks in the LCA bushings. So, they are probably hard as a rock.

When I did mine I threaded the mount all the way in and then had to move the lower arm forward a little but not very much. Are both sides of the front end off the ground, I did one side at a time so only one wheel off at a time?
Do you have the rears blocked tight? I remember pulling the lower arm forward with a wrecking bar but I think the best bet would be a strap around the arm and the other end around the bumper support so all action is on the car and not between the car and something else.
Another thought; when I did mine I used one jack stand under the lower arm and another under the car frame rail but if you do this use some wood between the stand a frame rail because it is just sheet metal and will bend easily.
