Any words of wisdom before I start my front end rebuild?

Not a bad job but you need to have a press for the lower control arm bushings unless someone knows a trick. I used a shop press. Taking the front end completely apart isn't bad. Use a shop manual, be sure to release the torsion bar tension etc, they are basically springs and springs can be dangerous. I think I used a ball joint press for the upper control arm bushings. The upper ball joints thread in and require a special socket, the lowers ball joints bolt on to the steering Knuckle. Tie rod ends, I believe they are threaded right and left hand so they expand and contract when you turn the adjusting sleeve( ask me how I know:)). Idler arm bolts on, Pitman arm you need a puller. Don't expect a front end rebuild kit to have 'everything". I know its a long winded post, but this is my recollection of rebuilding my A body front end.
