Thanks for all the input, once I banged the 18mm socket on, I was able to remove them with no issue. I also replaced the axle side bushing with polys. Ok, Now I really feel like a bozo! I started to to install the new upper and lower arms. I put the upper arm in with no prob! I read up on this for a while now. So I'm doing one side at a time like most threads I read stated, but now I'm trying to put in my lower control arm and it's not lining up with the axle. It looks like the axle is cocked out a bit! I tried to use a come along with no success. I know it's a little Unsafe, but I tried to pull it forward a little while it was on the jack thinking I would straighten out the rear.. Still no luck! Any suggestions?

 

I installed my lowers at the same time. I did have help though. Car was on jack stands ans jack under rearend.

 

Yea I wish I had Help! No one wants to get greasy! damn desk jockeys! lol.. I have it on stands now.. I guess I will try to do the other side at the same time. Hopefully the axle will straighten out.

 

I had hep to do mine too.... in the form of a case of beer, and my snap-on electric impact

 

My beer didn't do the trick.. I don't have a impact. plus I don't see how that would help line up the lower arm with the axle.. I'm trying the jack method. Where I jack the arm up in place.. But when it's jacked in place it's off from the bracket.. any ideas?
