Yep Jim.  Cut it out with a metal cutting blade, cutting down on either side 
of the wishbone.  You ain't gonna budge it with a larger screwdriver in most 
cases.  And if you are taking it out, you will be replacing the bushings, 
fulcrum pin, and wishbone anyway, so have at it.  If you are not replacing 
all of that (minimum), you don't need to be taking it out anyway.  And then, 
while you are at it, don't even worry about removing it--get a set of rebuilt 
A-arms and let the professionals remove them.  Unless you really like beer or 
ale.  Then drink a lot, sweat a lot, cuss a lot, and work like hell and it 
all might come apart.  aThen you gotta silver solder the new bushings back in 
anyway, which is a hell of a job.  8^)
