With the clip out of the rear socket & the nut on the front of the LCA tapered stud that comes out of the front of the kmember unscrewed to where it is flush with the threads tap on the nut to drive the LCA/tbar back a bit then come around to the rear side of the kmember & tap the bottom edge of the LCA forward & you're wanting it (the LCA) to come forward but the tbar to stay put so the tbar is in effect coming out of the socket. The trick is with the front end off the ground to have a jack under the LCA to have it jacked up to just the right height so there's as little tension on the whole shebang as possible & it's in a straight line reasonably. If you do have to grab the tbar with vice grips put something THICK around it to keep the teeth serrations from contacting/marring the tbar. EDIT If you ain't already take the wheel/tire off on that corner to get the assy as light as possible
