Put the pry bar on the part and pull it towards the hole. I can't see what's preventing you from lining it up because the pic is too close.

So I figured it out - all I had to do was deflate the air spring. I have no idea why it worked because it took off pressure in what I thought was the wrong direction, but the parts lined right up! Just installed the new arm and got the other side off and it was a piece of cake!
