Stuck Control arms and struts.

Hey folks working on my 73 mav, welp my blood is boiling, I have no front end on the car and I have no engine in it, so its going to be hard.. I already snapped a bolt. Any suggestions for anyone whos done this? Im supposed to have the front end of this car done in a week atleast thats the goal but this is really slowing me down

 

lookn' like job for an angle cut off grinder or hot wrench. Springs should be removed first of course.

".,. supposed to have the front end of this car done in a week..."

From what I am looking at as far as, suspension; I would get all new replacement arm, springs and everything in the front end if you plan on driving that car. only thing may be salvageable is spindle. Might consider upgrading to front disk conversion too, since you have it all apart providing it fits the budget. Good luck on the weeks goal getting it together.
I agree w/ previous post on cut-off tool and heat getting those fasteners off!

 

I have all the parts to replace the whole front end, like I said it was a goal so hopefully I can reach it

 

So I have the front disc conversion kit along with most of everything to replace the front end besides the upper control arms Thanks for the feedback! The disc break conversion kit is actually a thread yesterday

 

Get the springs out first! Pull the shocks. Get a proper compressor for the springs (local parts store should be able to rent you one) Don't worry about that broken bolt on the spring perch. (You got new arms right?) Get new ones (spring perches) if you didn't already with the front end parts... All that crusty stuff is junk!

 

Lucky you didn't hurt yourself going out it like that. Need to get the spring compressed first, then remove the shock and upper control arm.

 

So about a week ago I had the front end all together besides the upper control arms, Havent gotten around to buying them yet because ive been sanding this thing down, hopefully will have it primered in a few days the roof is a little wierd. Im soon going to be on a hunt for a 302 engine with a transmission for the car
