Thanks for all the suggestions. I just replaced my control arms 2 weeks ago and luckily had no problems removing my pinch bolts (Nevada car). The pinch bolts on the donor car were clean too.

I'm going to order the 12pt sockets this week since that's the only tools for this job that I do not have. Then will head over next weekend to pull the rack from the donor A4.
