[QUOTE="SVTr1gger, post: 11918529, member: 137062"] The bushing tool for the lower control arms was basically useless, as were the ones for the subframe bushings. I found it much easier to heat the subframe with a torch and hammer them out. The two I did the with the removal tool took about a half hour each and needed alot of cleanup, while the ones I did with the torch came out clean and were done in a matter of minutes. Today we installed the grease fittings on the lower control arms, torqued up all the nuts and installed the bumpsteer kit. Got everything back together and installed the lowering springs, IRS, driveshaft and the exhaust. Got the brakes back together and actually got to take it for a ride...needless to say my alignment was f*cked up bad. After the 2 minutes of driving we pulled the car back in and actually began to disassemble the front end for the steering rack bushings, springs and shocks. We only got the passenger side apart, and started getting ready for the caster/camber plates. We realized part way into that we needed a few other tools, so we wrapped up and will continue our work next saturday. All in all this is a job I never want to do again..but I have definitely learned alot. [/QUOTE]
