yeah some parts are a bear to get out. i had issues gettin my tie rod end off my mirage. after three hours and alot of cuts and bruises later i got it off lol. maybe you should find somewhere to use a lift?? i have access to a lift for 4.50 / hr. its nice.
not able to reply to question .got to log in and out is anyone else having a problem?their use to be a couple of bays that you could rent buy the hour with a lift .they closed them all.insurance was to expensive.people i guess were getting hurt and did not know how to use the lifts

I just brought mine back to the dealer this morning for that clicking noise. It was warranty but only took them 25 minutes so I'm guessing they just lubed it up.
