camber bushing removal

[FMExplorer]

Ok - pinch bolt is out - how does the camber bushing come out? That seems to be the last thing holding this knuckle on. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Could be frozen in there. Spray it with WD40 and grab some channel locks and try to twist it. It should slide right out. Make sure you scribe it's position so you can get the camber back into alignment.

Ok - so once the pinch bolt is out, the bushing should slide out? Then I can slip the knuckle off, right? I'm not worried about alignment because the knuckles are being shipped off the JamminJim

I assume you already know that the nut off the lower balljoint stud has to come out. Use WD-40, Blaster or whatever and twist it first to loosen it up. It takes like a 1-3/8" socket or something, or a big pair of channel locks. You can also use a big screwdriver to try to pry apart where the pinch bolt went through. You also may need to heat the lower balljoint to get it to let go, I know I did, I pretty much toasted my picklefork before I gave up an rounded up a torch.
