Things just keep on getting better. My control arm bushings are disintergrating (luckily I already got some energy replacements). My cheapo angle grinder won't work to put in the spacers (it's brand new), Home Depot doesn't have a pipe that will fit over my torque wrench so I can't get the upper control arm shaft off (instead of dimpling the nut a little, they have the entire part that was knocked in flat against the metal center so I can't get anything behind it even if I had a breaker bar so I used a dremel-like tool with a cut-off wheel to get rid of the dimpled part of the nut), & I'm bending my pickle fork because the upper balljoint is in so tight (of course I've ruined the boot while trying to get the fork in). Yep, tons of fun. Any suggestions?

So, if I were to take the upper arms in to a local shop to have them get the nuts off and press the old bushings out, how much should that cost (going rate)? Should I just have them retorque & dimple the nuts after installing the new bushings?
