CV joint R&R help

I know this has been covered many times on the board but I'm stuck in 3 places with the job. Dip's page and other past posts are great, but I'm just not getting it.
1) I accidentally loosened the 15mm nut holding the RH stanchion arm to the subframe. I can't find the torque for this anywhere, probably because the parts have different names SAAB manuals than what I'm calling them here. Any help on the torque?
2) I then tried Dip, Vlad, and other's method of removing the control arm from the subframe. Got the bolt out, but the control arm is stuck! I got it halfway removed (out of its home) but it's now wedged solid against the subframe just to the side laterally now. I really can't swing the strut out of the way to complete the job. I've done lots of prying and pulling.... Advice?
3) I then thought I would try the ball joint itself. Lacking the Saab ball joint removal tool ($180 from Kent-Moore!) and not wanting to tear up the boot, I've tried several folks' method of prying, etc. No dice. I'm tempted to resort to the pickle fork since I already have one, but then I'll have to buy a boot.
Thanks, Derek / 1994 900 S V6 169,000mi
