go up to either Checker or some hardware store and invest in some PB Blaster! that stuff works great. Im actually taking off my control arms too. just sprayed 'em last night and im goin out there tonight to work on them. just when you spray them let it sit fer a lil while

i used a breaker bar and 18" pipe they came right off, and o yeah alittle muscle helps too.

pb blaster is wuts up.... i have a few cans, lol.

and yea i dont see why a breaker bar wont work... if u have it on a lift(so its high enough) if u need to throw the handle to a floor jack on it... itll come off, lol.

but if ya have air tools}(i do and love them, lol.) use ur impact gun...

If you're just trying to unbolt the arms the sideways torque on them is insane, if you drop the whole rear end it should be a lot easier to get them out. Just make sure a jack is under the pumpkin and then unbolt the bottom bolts of the shocks and quad shocks and it should drop down, then the arms should have much less stress on them.

ya how does the ebrake cable come off

pull the drums off. Look where the cable comes thru the backing plate. Disconnect the end of the cable from the e-brake arm, then collapse the 3 prongs where it goes thru the backing plate and push the cable out.

The uppers are easy to replace especially if you have an impact. The lowers are a little tricky because the muffler is in the way of the inside bolt. An impact will make it an 1 hour job though tops. You shouldn't have to take the e brake cable off.

I ended up breaking both of the rear lower control arm bolts. They were rusted to the bushings and just wouldnt come off. I put a big breaker bar on them and they snapped.
