Be prepared for a LONG night.....Rusted/seized bolts. Make sure you have an impact wrench or the job will be hell. Pick up some locktight. Check your brake pads....may want to do them while you are at it.

Fighting with seized bolts will be the biggest problem.

Make sure you have another car to drive because you will need it. You will probably have at least one bolt that won't come out. Try using a torch to heat them up and see if that helps. Sometimes that will do the trick, if not they are frozen in the bushing and that’s where the second car comes in handy. You will need to cut out the bolt, press out the bushing and need a new bushing and bolt.
