2002 PSD Front Track Arm busing replacement and a huge thank you

I recently bought a 2002 PSD with 160,000 miles on it and have been doing routine servicing on it. I rebuilt the front end but couldn't get the two bolts loose to remove the track arm. I had a 3/4" drive breaker bar and I thought that would do it, well not a chance. Someone wrote an article about using a floor jack to put pressure on the breaker bar to loosen the bolt. It WORKED GREAT! I had access to a hydralic press to remove the bushings but the outside metal part of the stock bushing didn't come out and had to be cut out with a torch. Don't try replacing the bushings unless you have access to the right tools to do the job. Thanks again for the floor jack tip.

I decided to just buy new sway bar end links from Moog for $80.00 with grease-able bushings. MY 02 links were toast.
