What in the fucking cock?!

Alright... it's 1am, and I'm trying to get my god damn control arm bushing off, out of the lollipop bracket using a gear puller and it's being a real waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. Anyone have any other suggestions? I need to have this off by the morning so "buying the control arm bushing remover tool" isn't an option.

[unrlmth]

If they are stock just cut them. I did it this morning and it wasn't too hard.

[Need4Speed1299]

Do you have a torch?

[Jand3rson]

You're trying to get the bushing out of the lollipop, correct?

Sawzall the fucker. Just be careful you don't actually cut into the lollipop itself. Beyond that, you'll have to have it pressed out.

[mamzak]

yeah...I'm thinking I might just take the saws-all to it. Also: How the tit do remove the inner ball joint on the control arm? The one in the engine bay, It's at an angle and I can't get a socket in there because of the headers, and I can't get enough torque with a wrench because I have like 1mm of space. Cooooocccckkkkkkk.

I used an adjustable wrench to get mine on and off. I think the ideal too is a 22mm (might be 21) stubby wrench though. Or maybe one with a ratchet.

[mamzak]

Yeah I think I'll have to buy a ratcheting wrench tomorrow. Just tried torching it, but it's making a fuck of a mess. haha aahhhhhh. I need to buy a shop press. Trying the saws-all now..

[mamzak]

I wish I could show you a live feed of my garage right now...the lack of sleep and frustration is causing quite a ruckus.

[mamzak]

Got it off. Fuck it, i'm going to Mc Donalds.

[tg318is]

yayay congrats :D

[SUICIDE109]

Show that bushing that its your b*tch

[Naplm00]

The inner ball joint nut will be 22 mmm if it is original or older and 21mm if it has been replaced recently.

I used a O2 sensor socket to remove it. Its offset and 22mm.



I have the one all the way on the right..It was about $3 at harbor freight...maybe like $15 or so at a auto parts store

[mamzak]

You my good man, are a smart cookie.

[McGyver]

use a ratcheting wrench from under the car on the passenger side and from the top of the car on the drivers side IIRC. i think a 7/8 wrench may fit as well.

[Wh33lhop]

7/8" = 22.23mm, so a 7/8" wrench should work pretty well.
