I'm not available tonight or tomorrow, it's pretty easy though.
All you'll need is a pickle fork, 3 Jaw puller and other basic hand tools. You'll want a vice if you're doing the bushings...

Bushings and arms... and I haven't done it before so I am asking for help...
and I don't have that many tools either so that is another reason ^_^

wait for your coil overs, you will waste your money if you do it after the lower control arms. you do not need to align after control arm replacement.
if you have the bent. man that is just as good. those e36 control arms should
only take about 1/2 hour to an hour each.
wish i could help but work fucking owns me right now. we are getting busy.
if you need anything let me know. if you need the bushing pressed in gimmie a call drop them by the shop and ill get someone to do them just gotta give me some time with them to get it slipped to a tech k.

I would pay you in BJ's and ZJ's if you can get the bearings on for me...
When can I drop that off to get it done dude ?

Swing them by tomorrow by lunch if possible, and ill get them pressed
in by mid afternoon. It's going to take me a bit to get a tech free to press in real quick if thats cool. I'm in the toyota drive I'll be there all damn day. Hit me up on the text msg.
