The Brick, 1972 Dodge Dart Custom

Okay so the LCA's are out.

Here are the steps I took to remove:

1. Disconnect the out tie rod ends.
2. Unbolt and seperate the lower ball joints.
3. Using a cargo strap, suspend the upper control arm, knuckle, and brake assembly up and out of the way.
4. Drive out the roll pins in the strut rods.
5. Back the Torsion bar adjustment bolts all the way out.
6. using a Testors (model paint) paint pen, mark the torsion bars and sockets on the LCAs (you will need to scribe the LCA if you are going to sandblast the LCA)
7. Unbolt the strut rods from the front and then break the back strut rod bolt loose on the LCA.
8. Unbolt the LCA pivot shaft nut.
9. Using a flat pry bar, pull between the LCA and the K member until the LCA pops loose.
10. Slide the Torsion bars back and pull the LCA out.

Easy as pie. Took me about 3 hours to get them out, but that is just because the poll pins were being a *****.

Happy New Year you guys!
