Replacing front end bushing...need help

When removing the lower control arm, do I have to remove the u-bolts from the lower control arm to the frame? Or do I just remove the nuts from the sides of the control arm?

Sorry guys, I'm a newbie and don't want to mess anything up. Thanks!

You have to remove the u-bolts to the frame. PITA to get at with all the steering stuff still in place, but it can be done

Thanks, guys. It was a complete PITA! The exhaust is in the way on the driver said and I had to remove the UCA first. It's getting there, though. I'll post pics up once I'm all done.
