Anyone know the size of socket needed to remove the bolts holding lower control arms to the K-member. I need to change out the bushings. Al the larger sockets I have are SAE and don't seem to fit.

I tried to change out the control arm bushings - You need a press to do it. I bought new control arms, I couldn't fuss with it no more. Also I had to cut two of those bolts off with a cut off wheel. Good luck.

I got the nuts off but only one bolt out! I picked up some 99 control arms. the smaller bushings pressed out, the larger 2 had to be burned out. they popped in ok with grease an a mallet. I' trying to spray the bolts once a day an try an break them loose eventually. I even got an air hammer an cant break em out.

Okay, I'll try a 1 3/16". Don't have one of them so I'll pick one up. The press is no problem, I have one. I've changed out several bushings before so its nothing new. Thanks.
