Well it's finally finished. Got all 8 arms swaped. Took 2 wks cause of a trip in the middle and crappy weather. Everything went pretty much as expected but the upper left bushing was a real pain. Wound up drilling out much of the rubber and collapsing the casing just to get it out. Pressed it in with a ball joint press. Here is that old bushing after using a BAH and a LAP (long ass punch) but it was great to see that sucker on the floor.

Also torquing the bolts was a bit of a challenge.
