Hello. I just replaced my PS upper control arm. The old one was banging around. Anyway, is there a trick to getting that body bold nut back on the end? All the engine wiring harnesses and computers (behind firewall) are in the way and I am too nervous to f*ck with removing them. The DS looks much easier but I want to finish this side first. Thanks. Michael

You must remove the elctronics from the double firewall area. I just did the same job on our 1995. I disconnected all the plugs from the modules and removed three 10mm nuts that hold the aluminum support in place. There was also a relay and it's connector that I removed. Then the whole assembly can be pulled out. The nut is down under some wiring.

Thanks Vince. I will take care of that today. I really appreciate it. Michael

That worked perfectly. Thank you so much for the tip. Took less than fifteen minutes to take the ECU bracket out, bolt up the UCA, and bolt back the ECU. It appeared to be so much more than just three bolts until you enlightened me. Michael
