Well I managed to pry it out, not sure how I am going to get it back in, the thread hangs out so far for no reason so I might just grind the tip off it.

I came from bmw's always worked on them myself and my friend who knows nothing about cars had a ford, every time I fixed his car I was always blown away about how easy it was to work on and how simple and uncomplicated things are with it that is why I bought mine (plus trying to save money), but the front suspension is stupid, what is with the tiny heads on the bolts and the threads of EVERYTHING sticking out 100 million long so you MUST use a deep socket or a spanner?, I love this car but this area of the car is gay as aids.
