To get the inner control arms to line up with the body so you can slide the bolt through you'll need to turn the wheel away from the side that you are working on about one full turn.

Hold the calipers and use your foot to press the joint in or out. Use a long breaker bar.

Here's the 4 bolts that come out. Note you'll need an 18mm wrench to hold the nut ontop of the steering linkage assembly to use the gun to secure them. Don't forget to use loctite.

Here's one of the upper bushings. You'll have about 3 inches of clearance to pull them out.

After the bushings are removed wipe down the metal where they seat before putting the new bushings in.

I used vise grips to pull them out it worked like a charm. There is a rubber piece jutting out of the bushing line it up with the groove in the steering rack and press it into place snugly before putting the bolt back in and tightening it down.

Very easy just screw the three bolts on top and the lower bolt in on the bottom. Don't forget to use loctite.

Use a ball joint separator instead of a pickle fork. Also probably better to take off the tire and check your other joints to see what else may need to be changed.
