how do you remove a stuck steering linkage?
I trying to remove my oilpan from my small block
but that big dumb bar is in the way

sprayed it with WD-40 already but it won't budge
the passenger side popped out easy when I hit it

but the driver side is stuck
don't want to hit it anymore with a hammer because it starting to mess up the threads

any ideas?
just tired and frustrated...

thanks
