Roger. And yes, I did get both of them out. Then I had to rush off to get my daughter from daycare, make supper, shave, have a shower and rush off to a parent-teacher meeting in the school cafeteria. Just came back.
I'm glad you were able to get them out. They can be a pain in the rear to remove. This is the way i pull LCAs out at the junkyard. I got a set of these with swaybar tabs, and a BBP disc brake front end off a 74 valiant sedan at my local boneyard. Took me a whole 20 minutes to take apart with hand tools LOL. It helps that where i live its dry as a bone, bolts thread right off without penetrating oil.
You should concider boxing in the lower arms as part of your rebuild to stiffen them up a bit. Also if you decide to change out your upper ball joints concider putting a few tack welds to attach them to the UCAs after threading them into the UCAs. Also the quality of moog suspension parts has gone rapidly downhill. I was able to buy more superior upper, lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rod ends from a canadian company called XRF.
They use the moog part number with the prefix XRF in front of the moog number.
