>One other question is related to the metal sleeve that
rides inside the nylon (inner - lower) control arm
bushing. The old sleeve has fused itself to the pivot
shaft so well that I think even a nuke might not get
it off and in the process the entire shaft would
probably come with it. At this point I am thinking it
will be fine to leave the old sleeves (worn) in place
with the new nylon bushings over the top (pig in a
blanket)! Thoughts?

David, One trick I've used is to grind a flat along the length of the
bushings until the thickness is reduced to next to nothig at which point it
will break and spring open a bit. Then you can take a drift or cold
chissle and tap the thing around to loosen it up. At this pont you can
grab it with a pair of vice grips and work it off the stud.
Good luck
Dave
