For sure man.


I heated it. Saw bubbles of oil between bolt and adaptor. I pounded
it. One finally moved about a mm before the punch bent and broke! Ha
ha!


The spare control arm is "unknown" but looks straight. But the bushing
in the '81 arm has less play so I may try to get someone to press
those F'ers out of the adaptor. Then again a new bushing might be
cheap.


Still. I just have to "win" ya know.   ;)
