I tried to do the same thing and found out you are better off to take a sawsall and cut the bolts on both sides and by new bolts and lower arms! The arms are approx:$140 each with bushings in them! The bolts I have no idea how much! Sorry man they are a pain in the a**!

Well, tried to spray them with lube! I soaked them for a week and nothing worked! You can't heat them in fear of burning the bushing!Sooooo, the next alternative is to cut and replace! Either way sir, Good luck!
