Mike,

Just curious, why are you having to rebuild the front end?  
It is not that long go that you rebuilt the car as I remember.  I know that I am going to get jumped all over but the front of my car was not rebuilt for at least 20 years and around 100K miles when it was a daily driver.

Pay it Forward
Thanks Frank

I have to remove them anyway because the boots on the steering rack need to be replaced also. I am converting to polyurethane bushings too.  As was mentioned many times on this list, reusing parts like these are a "false economy".
