Didnt have time to do all of the control arms, but I did do one upper. Removal of the bushings was no real biggie. On one end of the control arm shaft there is a washer, I figured thats how you press the bushing and shaft out, so I used the handy press at work and used the harbor freight ball joint install cups to allow for the bushing to fall through. Got that one out, used the same shaft and washer to press out the other bushing... dunno if thats the right , but it worked. As far as the install, the arm had some marks on the inside.. like hash marks.. ?? dunno why, but I found out later why. Those marks were left by an air chissel trying to push the metal down on the bushing.... So the Harbor Freight ball joint tool woorked perfectly getting one side in. The tool cannot be used to install the other side unless its modified. I didnt want to chop up the tool so I used the press and some of those spacers in the kit to set the arm on the press. After pressing the bushing all the way down on the shaft, I seen that the arm needed to be hammered so it sits where it needs to be on the bushing.. this is where those hash marks came from. I borrowed a friends hammer bit for my airhammer so i dont make the arm look like snot. All in all not shabby.. pretty easy since I never done it before. The press made it easy for sure but if you had a vice, some scrap metal and an imagination you could make something work. I can take some pictures of the tool in action. I removed both bushings so maybe i can take pictures and put arrows to help the idea of removal. Hopefully tomarrow I can start on one of the lower arms. thats gonna be fun..
