easy way to get control arm bolts off that go through subframe?

[89325iturbo]

Just wondering if there is a best way to go about getting these off? There kind of a pain to get to. Even harder to get some leverage on them. Or is the only option to get a wrench on there, and go at it? thanks

Do you mean the nuts? The left side is easy. The right side is a little harder to reach. I found taking off the heat shield around the CAB gave me enough room to get a regular 22mm (not positive about the size?) wrench on there and take it off. Both can be reached from below. Some people recommended getting a 22mm stubby wrench to take off the right side nut, but I found it wasn't needed. The 22mm wrench I used was a long (12-14") one, plenty of leverage. Maybe put another wrench on the open end side if you need some more torque to loosen the nut.

A pickle fork will take out the ball joint from the subframe.

Crow's foot, extensions, and a universal joint and go from the top.

what he said, i took my airbox, and intake bellows off thou, because i like lots of room, but they came off no problem, then again, most everything comes off easy with air tools.
