getting upper c-arm off 99 s10

Ok, I have the ART upper and lower arms, and i'm having a bitch of a time getting the stock upper a-arm off. The bushing that's closest to the firewall is about 1/16" away from the exhaust manifold (see pic). How do i get that bitch off?

take the arms off lol first of all

that's what i'm trying to do, jackhole, lol!

the bolt should come off too

u trying to take the bushings off
...or the shaft

Try knocking the studs through the frame mount. You already have the nuts off. Then it should lift straight up.

^^thats what i mean the stud then the whole arm shoudl just slide up

abraham,i'm trying to do the easiest thing to get the whole arm off. I don't care if i have to take out the bushing, bolt, or sawzall the f-ing thing in half, i just want it out so i can slide the new one in. and pimpin, i don't think i have enough room between the stud and the engine to get a piece of paper, much less a hammer for the studs. Also, how would i get them back in if i did that?

00ps Didn't notice that. ^ Sorry yo

But yea knock those out, could reuse them because they have a locking clip on the backside. Or maybe the ART arms will come with new hardware. If not, you could run by and pick up some grade 8 bolt-age.

pry bar some were in there or sumthing similar? u can fit
