Crossland X Control arm removal

[Scott_j_g]

Hi all

I have a 2017 Crossland X which I am trying to remove the front lower control arms. The issue I am having is I can't remove one of the bolts due to the drive shaft being in the way. No matter what I do I just can't get enough space to remove the bolt. Other than removing the drive shaft does anyone know how I can get the bolt out?

Thanks

Does it help to raise the hub assembly with a jack underneath so that the angle of the shafts change and allow more room?
