Any tips for getting the bolt that hold the A-arm on out? Have the nut and the back washer off, but can not get the bolt to budge. Didn’t have much trouble with the other 3 bolts. Also, where can the washers and spacers be purchased from? Messed one of mine up.

It's probably rusted into the bushing.    Lots of penetrating oil and maybe some heat.  Big hammer and a brass drift.  The washers and bolts are available from APD. 


Scroll about 1/2 way down.

you'll eventually pay for it...
and not have it.

Available at all the AMC vendors. You need to save the cupped washers and the thick flat washer for re use on the new bushings. I used a step bit to remove the swaging crimp to remove the washers.

Nahh, unless you broke it just tap it back to shape and push the metal back if it's gouged.
