Hello All,

I feel like an idiot, Im in the process of replacing the bushings and bearings in my a-arms. I have run into a problem, I cant get the middle bearing out...is there some secret or something, a trick? I have tried everything i can think of! Please help me out I'm going crazy here and I need to have it done by Thursday! I just dont want to pay a dealer 100 per hour to do this...I justdont have that kinda cash now!

Thanks

there's two c-clips that hold the center bearing in place and they're a b**** to get out.

my 1 lower a-arm has a lot of play in it, I can hear it click moving back ad forth turning the wheels and while riding. Can I put a washer in there or something? Dont care to replace them.

I have tried for the last 2 hour to change these and have goten no where...F this! the dealer ship wants 3 hrs oflabor at 100 per hour to change! At this pace I should send them back and buy new aarms for another 200 bucks!

Anyone know of any cheap but good aarms?
