GQ upper control arm replacement
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.

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!
