this is my first time doing this and was wondering if anyone has any advise or suggestions on how to replace the a-arms. anything to watch out for or tips/tricks. any issues with the shocks when removing them that i should look out for?

also the inside tierod nuts sure are hard to get to and loosen. fun fun!

thanks for the help, i'm new to quad mods so thanks for all the help!!

You want a ball joint breaker. The A-arms will be stuck to teh spendals. The ball joint breaker gets them un-stuck easy. You dont need one but it makes it much easier.

If you're talking about a pickle fork there's a good chance of damaging the boots. Depending on the a-arms a damaged boot will to having to replace an entire a-arm.

A repair manual will be a great investment:)
