I made a custom tool to pound those out. Used a screw driver and broke off the handle then put a 15ish degree bend in it. Putting the new ones in however was cake.

Also gen2 upper arms do mess with the alignment. From what I understand your supposed to crank the torsion bars. Mine still are a little off. You need to use alignment shims. Take it to a decent shop. Be prepared ti pay a little extra for a decent alignment as some shops will see what it takes to shim and align properly and either will bs it or just do the tie rods aka toe and send you out on your way. Also stick it out to watch then do it and maybe even bri your own shims.

Speaking of shims... where do I get them for our trucks. I only had enough oem ones for on side. I don't want to use the universal auto part store ones if the oem ones are better.
