Ok, I realize this topic has been covered before, but I've gotten myself into a bad spot. It's getting dark soon and I have to have my Jeep done by tomorrow. I began installing my Rustys lower control arms today at 1pm, as I sit here, the passenger side one is in and done, while the driver side stock control arm is still bolted in.
The passenger side arm went fine. I put the bottle jack in between the spring perch and right above the LCA mount. Worked great. I went to do the drivers side and forgot their is a pumpkin in that spot, so I can't get the jack handle in the jack. I also tried the board method(propping it between the back tire up the front axle) and the board bent and broke before moving the axle forward. So now here I sit, racking my brain trying to think of some other way to get that drivers side axle forward to take out the LCA.
Do you guys have ANY other ideas? I'm open to anything at this point. I should also mention I'm installing these while my heep is on all four tires. I only have my stock bottle jack to work with, no jack, jackstands, etc.
