Lower Control Arm Removal

[MikeV]

I am doing a calmini steering/3"SL and also replacing all the bushings,

removed torsion bars & followed all the "constuctions" (Nissan & chiltons) but I can't figure out how to get the LCA off!-(

the nut on front is off but it has a "spline" in back(no bolt?) (I R Stupit)

 

a "special tool" that looks like a screwdriver in a socket is pictured in the nissan shop manual; but no idea what it is,

going to have the LCA's powder coated since I am this deep, have the nut off.

 

I searched and most were about the TC rod breaking

 

thanks again as usual guys (& gals!-)

I removed compression rod bolts, sway bar bolts, lower BJ.

only one theaded bolt that the lca bushing is in is holding it, but the back has no bolt? do I pound the bolt out?-(

just has where the torsion bar attaches in back, don't see a bolt head?

Hope this helps

Do you have the torsion bar and anchor off? Looks like the bolt head is right behind that, inside the frame bit that the LCA bolts to. The FSM shows a bolt there, nothing special.
