Default Camber Alignment Bolt? Chicago Alignment shop?

Ok, my car is on jacks, on gravel and melting snow. Anyone had a hard time getting that Alignment bolt out? Any tips? I was trying to install a Hotchkis Camber Link (rear upper control arm) and took the nut off but that alignment bolt won't come out. I tapped that fn thing as best I could at that angle, is it threaded to anything else? Or should it just slide out after the nut is off the other side? HELP?!?

Also, any good alignment shops in Chicago? My dealer did a half **** job with the alignment after I put in springs and a sway, so I don't trust their competance with an adjustable camber arm. They don't seem to think a big +- discrepancy in final alignment settings are an issue, because of course I have non-toyota aftermarkets on.

Good luck finding a good shop. I went to a midas in addison, and they sucked. Not only did they scratch the underbody when driving onto the lift, they forgot to reattach some brackets in the rear wheels. Let me know if you find a good one, cause they're hard to come by.

Great shop!!!!.. but only does German cars.

Trick for that alignment bolt:
Take the top off a monkey wrench and tap the handle end with a hammer. Bolt slides right out with some wiggling. Fits perfect for those angles.
