I’m removing the rear differential on my 01 GT. The lower control arm bolts don’t want to side out, regardless of where I put the jack. Any one have any advice or suggestions? Thanks!

put some pics up on here and lets see if there is something we can figure out
the bolts could be binding in the bushings

They're either a bit seized in there (corrosion is holding them tight) or there is binding due to a misalignment inside the bolt holes and you just gotta play with the floor jack a little bit.

From what I remember I had to jack the front of the diff to rotate the axle. Had jack stands under the axle tubes, and a set under the body.
