I am finally getting around to replacing the Control Arm bushings, mine are original to the car and heavily oxidized and full of cracks and fissures. The bottom one came off more or less without difficulty but the top one is giving me fits. The 1972 Service Manual says "Remove the two nuts securing the upper CA shaft to the frame bracket". Done. "Remove the bolts attaching the control arm to the frame..." A search here showed me that these bolts are splined and need to be driven out but the fan shroud is in the way. Am I missing something or is there a technique to drive them out? I vaguely recall some owners have to remove the shroud but I think that is either BB or A/C.
Any help here?
Thank you
Gary
ps, here is the bottom CA. I was surprised at their condition considering that the top CA bushings are as described. I haven't decided if I am going to replace these or not.
