recent post / help finding
About a month or so ago , there was a post from a member that had made a tool that is used to lower the A Arm after inner A Arm disassembly.
Does anyone remember how this was or can point me to the link?

I did a post about using all thread to raise the upper arm to change the bumper.
Which way are you taking it apart? If you use a floor jack and raise the car by the a-arm and then use a jack stand to catch the car when lowering it, the arm will swing out without issue when you let the jack down.

The post I saw had a member that had made a tool that sat on top o the lift arm of a floor jack. The tool was a base piece of steel with a special cut piece welded to it, that the inner lower cross shaft rode in.
Onc the car was jacked up to allow the lower A Arm to swing down you would raise the jack and tool to the bottom of the A Arm and remove the 1 rear and 2 front bolts. You would then lower the jack slowly to release the spring , could still use a spring compressor for additional safety.
The tool was a home made version of a GM tool that is either very expensive or NLA
Thanks
David

Hey David-
Your last two comments were right. It was way expensive and is no longer available. The tool was made by Kent Moore Tools.
You know, I remember that post and it seems like it was a year or longer old. I"m not sure and I searched with no luck either.
