That is all too easy. Just remove the bolts in the front and then the rear bolts and it drops right out. Are you really having a problem with it??

if you already have the tie-rods and balljoints loose, then it's a walk in the park (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
unbolt the torsionbar adjuster bolt (all the way out) and take off the adjuster cap next to the adjuster bolt, there's a bolt that holds the a-arm to the x-member, take it out upfront, there's a protective cover over the end of the a-arm it's bolted to the chassis with a single allen bolt, take it off then there's 2 bolts that mount the front of the a-arm to the chassis, remove them (have the a-arm supported) now you can pull the a-arm from the x-member (forward motion) |

A MAPP gas torch works the best. Don't cook the bushings, just until apply flame you see light grey smoke, then insert a chopstick (er, screwdriver) in the bolt holes of the mounts and just twist right off. Then you can use a utility knife if you need to or just slip the old rubber bushing off of the arm itself.

OK... I'll be serious.
Heat. Use a torch until you see a "whisp" of smoke. Then take a big screwdriver and start turning them and pulling them off. Once the outer covers are off, cut with a utility knife and remove the remainder of the bushing. |
