:mrgreen: You don't have a Braveheart smiley with half its face painted blue, but that's the feeling.

I borrowed a puller kit from Schucks (Kragen/Checker) and got tie-rods and idler arm removed.
(I also have a pickle fork kit)
I have the left side almost fully disassembled.
The T-bar stuck in the LCA and the split headers and Y-pipe were in the way.
I separated them by clamping my T-bar remover as close as I could to the control arm and moving it back 1/2 inch with a pickle fork. Repeat.
The original T-bars are .830 !! (623L)
That makes my .870 bars look like a decent upgrade.
The cam bolt assemblies were removed OK, but I can't get the upper control arm off.
A bushing inner shell shifted and seems to be hanging the front up.

I can help. If you'd like I can drop by on my way to Portland tomorrow. Drop me your phone number in a PM and I'll call. Heck, I'll PM you my number, but don't call before 9 AM.
