tough time with control arm

I am finally getting around to doing those control arms i bent hitting that curb. They were coming out flawlessly, until they did not want to slide out of the thing that the caliper attaches onto (the end seen at the right of the picture:


I loosened the bolt (it would not fully come out because stuff is in the way), but i kept prying at the control arm to come off, but it would not budge. It's like it's glued into that piece. Of you have done this, is there maybe a special trick to doing this? The bentley manual just shows you what to unscrew and expects the control arm to "magically" slide out. I chcked the paperwork on the car, and both control arms have been changed in 2005, and it was dont at the dealership, so I doubt it was crazy-glued on there.
