PLEASE HELP.. trying to replace the front drivers side lower control arm on 2001 Ford Windstar

trying to replace the front drivers side lower control arm on 2001 Ford Windstar

I got all the bolts loose. the bolt towards the front of the car that goes through the frame, I cant get out because it will hit the tranny stopping me from pulling it out. any ideas how to get it out without lifting the tranny?

You should be able to remove trans mount bolts and jack up trans to remove bolt.
