Nope.. easy right after you pull your torsion bars, unbolt your lower ball joint and remove your lower control arm from the K frame..
Ah, good news!!!!One piece OEM style bushings can be done by just taking the nut off.

Thanks to all, great picture, that be it? I will shop around for the bushings. I can see why you would have to take it apart.
Ouch!
ThanksEven this old man can do this stuff. Yeh, it's work. You need either a tool to pull balky T bars, or "rig" one or two 2x4's etc and crowbar. Once you have the LCA hardware loose, and the T bar retainer clips removed, you can pry the pivot area of the LCA to the rear and force the T bar out the rear. Usually you can wiggle it some and it will then come out of the LCA socket.
I would darn certain check other bushings at the same time, the LCA bushing, the lower joints, and tie rod ends. Whatever it is that you will pull apart, you don't need to do it "twice."
Looks correct. Hopefully, you have the stock hardware still on the strut rod to go with them. The aftermarket 2 piece bushings have the hardware installed differently. Stock, the concave side of the washers go against the bushing. The aftermarket 2 piece setup has the concave side away from the bushings.

Don't let all the tear it down comments cloud this repair, it is a 30 minute fix period! Get the one piece bushing and install it.
