upper control arms
 
For those of you that have removed these. What is the easiest way?
I have the lowers off, next I need to get the uppers, so I can get new bushings in them.
Not much room...take out the inner fenderwell, or use a mega huge extension?
thx...

pcm-
You shouldn't have to remove the inner fenders to remove the UCAs.

When I did mine, after detaching the spindle from it, I swung the UCA up to access the nuts. Just be sure to keep track of the alignment shims, so that you can reinstall them when you're ready to install the 'refurished' UCA.

Good Luck.
