      Control arm removal on a g-body.

      I'm gearin up to replace the rear control arms in my Regal. The frame side bolts on the lowers are recessed on the frame. I can't get my hand anywhere near them, leading me to think reinstalling the bolts is going to be a nightmare.

      Any advice from those that have done it would be appreciated.

      It's really not as bad as you think. You can use a long extension and a socket with some electrical tape inside to hold the bolt in place and push it through the hole. Another alternative is a magnet on a wand to guide the bolt in. Both ways work well!

      Thanks for the tips guys. For some reason I never thought of using tape.
