They can be a bit of a *****, the bolts have a tendancy to rust and freeze to the inside of the bushing, if its a 96 or newer it will not mess with your alingment. Pretty sure they are a 13/16 or 3/4 nut/bolt.

Lol....I had to do this once and found it a LOT easier to just buy the stock arms with the bushings in place. It can save you a headache trying to press out the old bushings. Definitely worth the extra $ to spare the troubles. You'll need some kind of press/vice set up to press out the old and press in the new. Some are sold with the exterior metal sleeve, and some without as well. Hope this helps.
