That was entertaining......I'm guessing the control arms had never been off since assembled. Rusted bushing bolts and pressed in upper cross shaft bolts can be a PITA with header interference.
The OTC tools are well built and worked great, at under $90 delivered via Amazon prime they were well worth it.
Global West bushings and offset cross-shafts are going in the control arms after refinishing, Pro Forged ball joints and tie rod ends (.5" taller outer ends and upper ball joints), and some used Hotchkis springs and hollow anti-roll bar will round out the upgrades.
Did you order the Proforged tall tie rod ends yet? I removed mine after installing the AFX spindles with about 500 miles on them. They're yours if you want them. PM me if you're interested.

Tu,
Very much appreciate the offer but I've had all the Pro Forged pieces sitting on the shelf maturing for a year and a half now.

It's a curse, but it's a blessing as well sometimes.
OCD as in organized composition disorder? ...........Yes.
I wish someone would have video'd the supervisor as he was under the car and quite affectionate and vocal as if he was saying 'you've been under here most of the day, it's time to go inside!'
