I left the spring in place and pulled the LCA forward a little with a come-a-long. Threaded the new part on and released the come-a-long.
Hardest part was when one of the hex head bolts stripped out and took a few minutes with an easy out to turn.
Pretty easy job all in all and well worth it. I had constant "clunking" on the right one. The left was still tight.
