Lower Control arm bolt keeps spinning
Tried to remove the lower control arm bolt, (rear, vertically mounted, notorious with rust and breaking). Luckily I managed to loosen it with a breaker bar without breaking the head of the bolt but when I'm loosening it with a ratchet, it just keeps on spinning. Any tips on how to remove this? I don't have an impact gun. I don't know why it just keeps on spinning. I tried to remove the carpet but there's no access there or whatsoever.

Unfortunately chances are the captured (welded) nut inside the sub frame has broke loose and is spinning freely. You may have to either drop the subframe or cut part of the subframe to get vice grips on it and stop it from spinning.
This is where impact wrenches are a huge bonus.
