What is needed to replace the bushings in the upper A-Arms. Who has
replacement shafts? I replaced my upper arms this weekend with some
other used ones from my basement stash with anticipation of replacing
the bushings in the ones off of my car (since they are MUCH cleaner) and
reinstalling them. When I tried to remove the bolts they both broke off
on the first one I tried. I am still not sure exactly how these bushings
are replaced. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You need a press and an air hammer and a drill motor and bit, to drill the
broken bolts, and a couple of special tools to press the stuff back together,
along with the grade 8 hardware to reassemble with.
If you have a problem locally let me know as I can accomplish this for you,
I have parts in stock. It will be a short while before I start as I am soon
headed for the convention.
