Front suspension woes

Hi 67,

I am also in the process of removing the front end for new bushes and hardware. The key to it is , "The right tool for the right job".
(In the case of 46 year old components , Heat and some good quality corrosion inhibitor is your friend and will make your job a lot easier)
I'm assuming the BFH means Big F$ck*&g hammer? lol, Using heat in the proper way will = Less BFH and more :)

Use heat to remove the top control arm bolts and bushes, you are going to replace them all anyway.
If that rear bolt is seized- again use heat , and try to move the bolt with your wrench , a long handle one will work best, you should be able to work it loose and then tap it out.

For ball joints. after the arm is removed , hold it in the vice, Heat it up a little and use a rattle gun and ball joint socket.
After its all apart , you really need to make sure its all really clean before you start putting in the new bushes. I usually sand blast the components and then give them a wash and some new paint.:D

You can usually get all this done in a weekend if you are cruising along by yourself and have the right tools
