Hi all,
As the title suggests, I need to replace my RHS rear upper control arm with a bent one so I can fit my sub tank underneath.
Question I have are; how hard is it to do? What are the steps involved? Any special tools or tips I need to know about?
Cheers,
Drew.

If you come around here I will do it for you.....

Not hard just need to watch things moving about... I had to use my winch to line up my front diff after removing the radius arms...

Dont forget all your belts need replacing urgently!!!!

just did the lowers no special tools just as BA says I had to use a pipe clamp to pull the diff back as it moved when I undid them.

Thanks man but don't mind doing it, just need some direction. You have a sh!tloads better work area than I do though....when can we do it? I'd better go and buy the arm then ay? Maybe after the Australia Day trip......I have a bit to do between now and then. Hope my clutch holds up!
