Re: A Arm bushings
And a big breaker bar. Make sure the threads are clean on the shafts or they will bind...

Re: A Arm bushings
If you are talking about the actual shafts that hold them to the vehicle i just did mine on my 70 and i clamped the control arms in a vise and used a big breaker bar and a buddy. They are set to about 90 ftlbs. on the lowers so you figure 20-30 plus years and they get pretty stuck.
