upper control arm
on the upper control arm/passenger side/rear bracket, looks like the bolt will hit exhaust pipe when removed. Has anybody removed the arms without unbolting exhaust? any tricks ?

I think it's pretty much impossible to get it out without moving the exhaust, unless maybe you push it out against the pipe and cut it. When I did mine I put the bolt in backwards so that I could get it back out without moving the exhaust again.

I did take it out without removing the exhaust.
What you have to do is undo the two bolts on the side of the engine/transmission that hold the exhaust hanger in place, then I just simply used a floor jack and a 4x4 block to jack up on the pipe slightly in order to get the bolt out.
Once you get it out, you can put the bolt in the other way so you don't have this problem again.
