upper control arms 86 560SEL

[rsmartin]

Wow, just finished replacing right side upper control arm.. what PITA!! and it's supposed to be a super easy job...

had to drive the bolt that goes through the body in with my impact wrench. used a tall jack to lift up the sway bar so i could bet the ball joint off because the LCA/steering knuckle assembly wouldn't go low enough to come off all the way.

now i'm looking at the left side and wondering if i can even do it? if the bolt is as hard to remove and replace on this side as it was on the right side i'll never get it done because there's no room to get my impact wrench in their with the engine stuff so close. the power steering hose and a/c hose are right there.

any one have experience on a 560SEL?
