69 Camaro Upper Control Arm Bolts

[Devil Dog]

What is the best way to remove the upper control arm pressed in bolts on a first gen Camaro? Gotta be a simple answer but I can't seem to find it and do not want to put a torch on that.
Thanks!

A bigger hammer?

I was able to remove them by placing a short piece of angle iron against the headers and using the air chisel wedged in between the angle iron and the bolt. They popped right out.

Well, I was close. You needed a pneumatic hammer, not just a bigger one. Good creativity on the solution!

I placed a piece of tube maybe 1/2" long and around 7/8" ID I think (whatever ID tube fits over the flange head of the bolt) and used/tightened a beefy 1000lb-rated G clamp to push the bolt outboard, thru the tube placed over the bolt head.
