Nut sizes for upper and lower control arm removal?

Does anyone know the nut and bolt head sizes to remove the upper and lower control arms? I need to find a place to get a pair of giant wrenches so I can change out my bushings.

I just checked again, and found some pictures, 30 mm fits, and the nuts are on TIGHT!! I got them from Harbor Freight. This is the size on my 91, but I'm sure yours are probably the same.

Mark,
I was looking for info on upper control arm nuts and bolts on my C6 and up pops a 2006 post on the subject with an answer from my friend Mark.
What do you know about the nut that must be welded to the frame on the upper control arms that the bolt threads into. I have one that is slipping/turning at 45 ft.lb torque. Is there a GM fix for this?
