Bolt removal issue - right front lower control arm
I'm in the process of replacing springs, ball joints and bushings on my Xkr coupe - 2000. When disassembling the front right lower control arm I ran into a problem, the bolt will not come out due to hitting what I think is a mounting for the front subframe, see picture below. Does anyone know the solution to this?

Thank you for the advice Baxtor. But now I tried to remove the bolt for the rearward mounting of the lower arm and guess what.. Same issue there but only worse.. 😣 The bolt hits the steering rack, see picture below. At the other end seems to be a lot more space, has this bolt been inserted the wrong way, or is it normal procedure to remove the steering rack for being able to remove lower control arm?

When it comes to the steering rack, I only removed the steering rod, not the rack itself. The rod was in the way of the bolt of the control arm, but with the rod out of the way the bolt also came out. And with the rear bolt out, the arm was able to wiggle a bit so that the stuck front bolt also came out
