Ordered a rebuild kit for my UCA's. Ball Joints and bushings. Any tips or tricks to get the a-arms out? Socket list? Thanks.

Probably should have been more specific. Getting the A-Arms out of the Jeep. Complete rebuild bushings and ball joints.Pretty simple , just unbolt the existing ones,
( maybe able to do without taking them out, but I always remove them )
all parts etc to rebuild is in the kit
pretty self explanatory really
Well since I finally read this and caught up, I thought you had it.........I get it, 2 bolts per a-arm. I can see that when I look at how the a-arm works. Are you going to offer any advice on getting the drivers side out or just be an ***? In other posts you say you've done over 50 installs. But nothing further on advice or tips. If you have nothing actually constructive to add, please move on.
Still am, I treat people just like they treat meI remember when Tom used to be everyone's friend
If it helps I get to the UCA bolts from the top, just like changing the strut. It's been awhile so I'm not sure why I decided to do it that way. Anyway, hope it doesn't give you too much grief.
I've been watching any YouTube videos I can find on the subject which apparently isn't much and they only focus on the Passenger side. Thanks for the suggestion and advice. Still waiting on the LCA's and additional hardware to come in.Remove battery and air box for a better view. Passenger not too bat to reach, but driver side you'll want enough extension you'll be turning your ratchet near the radiator. A swivel near the socket is helpful. Don't remember hardware size. You should only have to turn the nut on front as the bolt has a stop tab that keeps it from spinning. Watch the hard brake lines on the driver side too.
