[Help] on front control arm removal....

Postby SleeperSolara » Mon Oct 16, 2006 7:26 am

Well some of you might know, and some don't know.
But i bought SuperPro poly bushin' for the front control arm, the front and rear bushin'.

Front bushin'

Rear bushin'

Well on Saturday, i tried to attempt to take the front control arm.
Well there are 4 bolts and 2 nuts.
I've been able to take out the bolt that holds the rear bushin' in.
The 2 nuts and the short bolt on the control arm that holds it to the wheel.
The problem is the 2 short botls that holds the front control arm front bushin'.
Pictures below.

How the hell do i take off those bolts since there is barely any room.
I've tried the all my extensions i have for the wrench.
And i didn't work at all, cause there is no way too, hold it down and loosen it.
Any help this whole week would be great.
Cause if i can get help this week, than Fall Break i will work on it again to try to get it off.
Thanks.

even if you could take them off, you still gotta have someone press the old ones out and press the new ones in. I suggest you jsut bring it to a place to have it worked on, unless you have a huge vice or something.

Well i used a very big vice thingy to put the dogbone bushin' in.
I just need suggestion to get the 2 bolts that are in the pictures i posted.
Really don't want to pay to get them installed, if i can do it, even if it is hard.
