removing upper arms / spindles

I know the f-bodies use a totally different upper control arm and ball joint. And I'm pretty sure about the J-bodies too.. So just the spindles and brakes will work. Like others have said... It is easier to just take the whole assembly off as one unit. A pickle fork too.. or you will never get the tie-rods and ball joints apart. Pliers for the cotter pin and a med. flat screwdriver will come in handy too.
