This sounds like a really good plan. Once they come in we can plan something.

Do the new parts have a lip on them? Those are the easier ones to air hammer in. Never had much fun with the others.

Doesn’t look like they have a lip. It’s not going to be fun, but I’m also not about to replace them with OEM ones or an entire arm for $400.

The fuss is that the OEM ones cant even be bought at napa, autozone, advanced auto, etc…because they keep failing. The problem i may have is finding someone whos open while I’m doing this which is most likely on a weekend and hitching a ride once its off.
