I am replacing the lower left control arm (48069-20290 - #6 on attached image) on my 95 GT once the correct part arrives; seems I was mistakenly sent a control arm for an earlier generation. The bolts have all been removed, including the stabilizer bar link (48820-33010 - #4 on second image).

Now all I have to do is remove the control arm and I need to know how much force I can apply without damaging any of the other suspension/steering componentry. How do I wrestle this bastard from the car?





Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

the lower control arms im selling have 165,000 miles (here in california where humidity and salt are at a minumum. Even when living near the beach)

you can purchase these (scroll halfway down) these will make removing the lower control arms in the future (but have to purchase from europe)
