W126 LCA Bushing Replacement

There are already a number of posts on doing this job. I do appreciate the community discussions -- it has saved me tons of frustration in the five years I have worked on my car. So, I need to give back to the forum.

This variation on the job uses the KTC-A1023 kit for the REAR lower control arms. But I found that it is perfect for pressing the new bushings in.

Tools:
Floor Jack and jack stands
Spring Compressor, Klann KL-0025-1K
3-Jaw Puller, Posi Lock POS 108
Lower Control Arm Bushing Press Tool Set KTC-A1023
Ball joint extractor, Klann KL-0320
Pneumatic impact wrench, 1/2"
Torque wrench, 1/2"
Milwaukee Super Sawzall with 6-Inch, 18 Teeth per Inch, blades (Torch)
Blade: 48-00-5784
Bench vise

Special job notes:
1. DO mark the orientation of the eccentric bold, or it will cost you a wheel alignment.
2. Take the LCA off the car. It makes the job so much easier.
3. When reassembling, this is a good time to install A 123 330 14 75 REPAIR KIT BRAKE BRACING TO CONTROL ARM. I got mine from the dealership, and they are not cheap.

I have uploaded pictures to an album, but this is the first time to post them. Bear with me.
