Well.
Got the LCA's out after much cutting (went through 5 more blades, that's 9 so far, plus a cutoff disc). Ended up having to cut the spring carrier link bolts out too, because those eccentric adjusters were rusted solid inside the bushings just like the LCAs.
So I am kind of pissed off, naturally. But at this point, those spring carrier arms are only $35 and that's much more appealing than trying to press the bushings out; I don't have the tools to do that. Unless someone has an idiot-proof method?
Now it's just a matter of finding the parts without waiting a month for them. Any suggestions on that? RockAuto doesn't seem to have them listed for the Path, but from what I gather the same part is used on several other vehicles so maybe a little search creativity...
