Well we started the night with the intent to do the upper control arm, remove the steering rack and replace the inner and outer tie rods and also install the rear hatch stays.
We started breaking apart the upper controls arm with ease, and we were quite surprised that everything wasw coming apart. Then we had to fight with the ball joint to break it loose but with our new best friend (our B.F.H./big fricken hammer) we were able to break the 2 parts apart.
We tried numerous ways to get the bushing out of the arm but to no avail. We retire after almost hurting each other and hope that in the morning I can find someone who can press them for us
As for the rear hatch we were able to have some fun for once. The upper mounts came out with no problems but the lower we had to grind off, well maybe we dident HAVE to but it was much funner that way and made for good photos.
Well wish us luck tomorrow on finding someone to get the bushing pressed
