Help!- can't separate control arm from steering knuckle

[Lacy]

Hello all,

Thanks in advance for reading through. I am in the process of replacing the alternator in my PT, 2001.

Essentially, at this point, I can't get the steering knuckle to separate from the control arm.

The control arm is bottomed out against the frame.

I have tried all varieties of prying, with no luck.

We're using a Hanes book....and have done all previous steps. This step--just isn't happening.

Help? Am I missing something? Is there a trick???

Thank you all,

Lacy
