Need help fast - suspension issue during spring install
OK. As I was installing springs last night I ran into a problem fighting to get things to line up. Long story short, in the end I essentially disassembled the entire rear assembly and put it back together. Now I am having issues with the a-arm bolting back to the hub. I never seperated these, but did take the bolt out trying to getmore play. Now the joint is twisted and the bolt won't go back in the hole (pics below). I'm kinda lost at this point and have been at this since last night.

I ran into similar trouble doing mine on Friday. I had the car up on jack stands, and I needed to get a floor jack under the lower control arm and lift it a bit, and used a crow-bar to leverage the angle of the control arm to get it to line up. It was the only tough part of the install, and required a bit of muscle and maneuvering.

I'm trying hammer and prybar. At this point should I just seperate the a-arm from the hub? I can't figure out any other way to rotate it
