Since I knew the arms didnt need to be salvaged we used an air chisel and sperated the arm out away from the U-Bolts. Everything came off pretty swell with the chisel. Had I needed to keep the old arms I'd still be taking them off. We put the old U-Bolts back on it for now with the knowledge that they need to be replaced this spring due to rust. We were going to heve plates welded on these and have them weld the two halves together. Had they come in on a monday or something they would've gotten that treatment but I knew I had to get them on this weekend so they just got a TON of paint in hopes that they'll take longer to whither away.
