hi i need help removing the control arms from the crossmember thing for shipping and was curious if banging on it was the only way? all help appreciated!

spray some wd-40 or similar and start gently whacking it.... at least that's how I remember doing it.

Lots of PB Blaster. I then take the bar caps and adjusters out. Mount or chain the cross member to something solid. Take a come along and mount it to something solid too. Put hook through small arm brace and start pulling. It will pop right out. Takes longer to get ready than it will take to pop out.

thanks for the reply ill give it a shot tonight
