I have done this before on other cars. I can not get the bolt out on the 2 upper control arms loose so i can lossen the arms and take out the shaft. I even tried so hard that i broke the head off the upper contral arm bolt, so im screwed. any ideas how i can still do this so i can get my half shaft in.

you dont need to loosen top arms,release bottom arm only and turn strut to remove shaft.

Soak with wd40 and heat with a torch, then punch with a drift and it will come out. Smear copper grease on the bolt prior refitting so it will be easy to remove next time ! As you been told, you dont need to remove the pinch bolt to remove the driveshaft, RH Side comes with a bit of persuation if you hold the steering on full lock ! LH Side needs the control arm to be removed !
