OK this may be a silly question but I have the upper a arm off and need to replace the bushing.... no problem however I need to put new replace the dust covers so how do you get the spindle out of the a arm? I have the bushings off but there is not enough room to get the spindle off the a arm very puzzling. Looks like you would have to bend the a arm to get the spindle out.

If you already have both the hex bushing nuts off, then just pull it down really hard against the boot. It takes a little prying but it will come out. It’s a very tight fit!

Tight fit indeed. It feels like one of those metal puzzles where it looks impossible to fit the key through the opening, but then brute force just solves it.
