The directions aren't very clear.

In order to replace the upper control arm MOUNT you have to do the seat/tank work. But for the arm itself you don't have to do all of that.

Just remove the bolt that secures the UCA to the mount, and the other bolt that secures it to the axle.

Thanks CrazyAl! I was looking under my car and it did not make sense that i needed to remove the seat. I am a green mechanic so all this is gonna be a learnning experience for me. My parts are slowly trickling in. Adj. UCA, LCA, Springs, Shocks/Struts, Panhard Bar, PB Brace. I cant wait to start hopefully by the weekend.

+1 I also have the BMR adjustable upper and install is tricky but straight forward from the underside of the car. I had a time getting the forward pin out. Mine had to come out at a bit of an angle (which meant twisting the bushing some) and go back in the same way.

Maybe this will help. Not my write up, but comes in handy...
