it would've been too much to ask if all the bolts came out easily, right? so, starting on the left side now, 3 of them slid out easily, the fourth was frozen quite solidly frozen in the ball joint - in my fervor to remove the sucker, i sheared off the head of the bolt, leaving threads sticking out one end and nothing sticking out the other. it is, of course, still stuck in there. what to do now???
