Default Geez...so many questions - upper control arm

Hi

I see now from the FSM that there's a "special tool" to remove and install the upper control arm bushing at the axle end bracket. How can I do it?

TIA

Question There's got to be an better way!

Search found this thread with only one reply, so I thought I'd revive it.

There must be an easier way to get those bushings out (and new ones in). There's not much room to get a big hammer in there much less get a good swing at it.

Any other suggestions? Is there some kind of clamp on press or something? What is this "special tool" the FSM talks about?

Never mind. I found this other Upper Control Arm bushing thread. Very good w/pics.
