A-Arm bushing - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is it hard to change the upper A-arm bushings? I have changed ball joints before but don't know how much more involved this is. Local shop quoted me just under $200.00 to change one side then $45.00 for an alignment. Only my passenger side is going bad. It's on my 1 ton. From reading about it you have to decompress the spring, remove the ball joint, take the grease fittings off of the bushings then remove the bushings. I bet they are a real PIA to get out.
Thanks for any input,
Chuck
