I am in the process of replacing the upper and lower control arm bushings. Man what a pain in the a**. It has been about a days worth of work and I just got the lower control arm back in place and the bolts put back in.have not yet torqued everything up yet, figured that I would work on the upper bushings before it gets tightened up. The lower bushings were murder trying to get them out and the new ones pressed in. I am sure I am doing something the hard way. Wish I had a shop with a pit, it would make some of this easier and I would be out of the rain.So does anyone out there have any tips on how to replace the bushings? I know that some of you have done this job before and will have some invaluable experience with how to make the job easier.I am now on the clock with making sure that the front end gets done and back together. I plan to be heading down to the GMC Western States rally on 10/2. So any help would be appreciated. Number here is 425-395-4554 if you want provide any tips or hints directly. I am sitting in the RV for a while waiting for the rain to die down a bit here in North Seattle. Thanks--Gerard HickeySent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device
