Lower Control Arms
I am having one heck of a time installing the lower control arms on my 70 1/2 ton . Is there an easy way to do this? The large nuts on the outside which are new seem to thread in the a-arm very tight...is this normal? Thanks

Put a little grease on the threads, they may be cross threading so be careful. Make sure everything is clean.

yep, they are a royal PITA, make sure threads are clean, and maybe add a little bit of lubricant, but it just takes soem elbow grease
Good luck
