Left Frt Upper control arm

Are the two bolts on the frt upper control arm removable. Do the cams come off the bolts or are they made on the bolt? It appears that there is no room for the bolt and cam to slide out. Thanks in advance 1997 Explorer4x4 sport.

I replaced the one on my 97 explorer as well, very difficult to remove. The cams come off with the bolt, you have to move the brake and fuel lines around and just keep playing with them. After an hour or so of cussing and banging, they came out.

Thanks for the reply I kind of summized that was what I needed to do. I guess this will be a Saturday AM job. Maybe some "Buds" and a BFH...Again Thanks
