Lower Control Arms
I searched the forum and could find this problem, so if this is a repeat I apologize.
I am attempting to replace the lower control arms on my 2008 LS460 (110,000 miles).
Unfortunately, I cannot get the ball joints out. I have torched it, bent a pickle fork and hammered on it endlessly with a 5lb sledge. It hasn't budged an inch.
Is there some hidden pinch bolt or something I am missing?

I remembered that Scotty Kilmer somehow cut the ball joint of my LS460 with a dremel tool.
But I'm not sure if that is the only way/ correct way of doing it.

Also, that ball joint seperator is too small to fit around the front control arm.
