I have done a search on these, and found the 4X4 press in thread, but not a 2WD. I realize they have 4 rivets that need cut out. I plan on wacking them off with a air cut off tool, and drilling out and using a air hammer to drive the guts out. So anyone do this and find a cheat somewhere. Just picked up this RT. And discovered the BJ's are bad on the lower. This is the first Dodge I have owned. After 25 years and owning over 50 different cars and trucks. Yep! This is my first Dodge.

 

a cheat would be a oxy/acl torch
they are extremely hard,

easiest would be to use a cutoff wheel/grinder id use a 4.5 inch, an air one will have trouble, i couldnt get mine hammered put with an air hammer but you might have better luck, otherwise a BFH and punch will do the trick

make sure the lower arm is supported or it will absorb all the power from the hammer

 

Will do, I guess they are the original. Unless some dweed bought lower control arms. The tops are great, just the lower.

 

trust me, if you can borrow a torch, it goes so much faster



btw, nice sig pic lol

 

Personaly, mine wen't prety easy with the air chisel but then again they had 260k miles on them and I pulled all 4 control arms so I could replace the bushings too,LOL. All in all it was prety easy. I did one side and my wife did the other.
