I am trying to replace the bushings in the upper control arms on my 1977 mustang ii 2.3l. I did take the adjusting bolt out of the arm and swing it 180 degrees to try and get better access at taking them out, still didn't really work. Now I am trying to take out the entire arm the only problem is removing the ball joint from the hub. There is not much room to bang on that stud and i just won't budge. I did try to hit the arm up a little but I don't want to bend it. If there's some kind of trick taking these out without destroying it please let me know. the ball joints are still good so I want to reuse them and especially because they are riveted in. These have been on for forty years and never been touched, the car is all original with 30k miles.
Thanks
