Default Help Installing OmniPower Camber Kit.....Can't Get The Stock Arms Off

jus got the omnipower camber kit, the whole control arms for the front, and tried to take of my stock arms and they wouldnt come off.

i took the cotter pin out, the crown nut, i even took out my whole suspension, and the 2 bolts hold the control arm to the shock tower, so where the crown nut goes, i couldnt get the arm offf there.

is there any trick to getting it off???

Go to shucks/kragen/checkers, autozone, pep boys, etc. and rent one. Once you see what it is you will feel like a retard.

Should be like $50 or so and they give you back $45 when you bring it back.

try this; bolt the stock upper arm back in (2 bolts you took out) and with the upper ball joint nut off, get a hammer and give the top of the knuckle (where the ball joint goes thru) a few wacks w/a hammer and it'll pop free.



....or get a ball joint splitter...
