    I'm trying to install TC UCA's right now. As far as the stock arm goes, everything is loose except for the bolt which goes through the arm and hooks up to the uni-ball. I'm having trouble getting the arm free. Any recommendations?

    Your ganna have to tap on it with a rubber mallet to pop it loose. Ones you get the bolt off ofcourse. The bitch part for me was popping out the old one from the Spindle.

    Pitman Arm puller. Go borrow or buy one (shouldn't be expensive) but will help you with all kinds of stuck bolts and stuff.

    probably...Just make sure you get one that will fit over the parts you are working with.
