I was planning on using the picked lower control arms so I don't have to
mess those bolts. I've got a complete powerflex bushing set coming in the
mail and am prepping everything for the install

The radius arms on my '81 were really stuck. I posted here and showed what

Take your time removing the nuts. The replacement nuts were the locking
type. I assume that is OEM. So. Turn each a little at a time, use
penetrating fluid prior to this and clean the exposed threads really well.

I found the bolt remnants really hard to get out. 1 would not budge. This
is why I was thankful to have spare parts.
