I will need a pry bar to get me out of bed tomorrow!..lol..I have ruptured discs in my neck and lower back and im gonna be hurtin boys! Anyway, i went to oreilys and got a propane torch and came back and put the flame where i could get the part of the bushings you can see cherry red and i beat and banged and pried my rear end off over and over again and FINALLY, they came out! Thank God! You wanna know what REALLY made me mad..The bolts did not have any rust on them,,so i dont know why they would not budge. The other side came right out..So, im a happy camper! The only bad thing is, one of the little tabs that are used for the adjuster broke, not sure what its called but i took a picture of it with my finger pointing at it..I hope this wont be a problem..?? I thank all of you for your guidance and patience with this!! I have a rebuilt set of upper control arms ready to go in but was hoping to save my lowers to rebuild and use, can anyone tell me how in the world i can get that dang lower ball joint to let loose? I did all i could do while it was still on the car and could not get them to let go..I was hitting the cast knuckle where your supposed to hit it, along with my grandson standing on a prybar. Ive never had that issue getting them to separate on any other vehicle. Now that everything is removed from the car, what can i do to get it apart? As much as i hammered on the thing, i hope it didnt hurt the cast end of the arm..
