separately to help maintain the alignment of the axle. You may have to move the exhaust
system to remove the bolt at the front of the arm.
The hardware at the rear of the arm is easily accessed and should be removed. Retain the stud for later
use . With all the hardware removed the stock arm should drop out of place.
