Can I just unscrew the bolts with the bushings or I have to remove something else?

Bro my mechanic used a mini drill to get those suckers out. You won't do this for a DIY. Go to my Guy on Monday. I'll talk to you later today.

Yeah I think changing the bushings is tough. Removing the LCA is OK if you got the sockets and a breaker bar. All them 19/22-23mm nuts are on at 100+lbs.

Getting the rubber out of the LCA......hmmm.. I just bought whole new LCA's for not much more. You get a free BJ as well!
