69 Camaro Upper Control Arm Bolts
 
What is the best way to remove the upper control arm pressed in bolts on a first gen Camaro? Gotta be a simple answer but I can't seem to find it and do not want to put a torch on that.
Thanks!

A bigger hammer?

Pesky upper A-Arm pressed in bolts
 
I was able to remove them by placing a short piece of angle iron against the headers and using the air chisel wedged in between the angle iron and the bolt. They popped right out.

Administrator can close this post.

Well, I was close. You needed a pneumatic hammer, not just a bigger one. Good creativity on the solution!

I placed a piece of tube maybe 1/2" long and around 7/8" ID I think (whatever ID tube fits over the flange head of the bolt) and used/tightened a beefy 1000lb-rated G clamp to push the bolt outboard, thru the tube placed over the bolt head.
