top ones came out "nicely", however I have done a few suspension installs, so those have been
exercised a few times over the years. The only one on the top which was difficult is the tie rod end, because you have to bang it downwards and there's not much room above it to pound it out. I cut a ~2" section of a broken 1/2" socket extension that I had. I put that inside and banged it down with a 2lb? sledge.
The top control arm ones I hit upwards with a drift & sledge. Same for the various bolts.
Didn't want to go screwing up this last one though because it seemed to swivel differently that the rest. I'll play more tomorrow....
