A couple weeks ago my driverside radius arm completely snapped in half on my 94 explorer xlt. I was just wondering if anybody had some tips or easier ways of getting the new one in place. I tried everything i can think of without removing more parts than necessary and creating even more work for myself.

 

Basically, what you have to do it grind the rivet heads off the Driver's side Radius Arm Bracket, punch the rivets out. Then you unbolt the center bracket bolts, install the new arm with new bushings, cups and nut. Then reinstall the bracket to the frame with GRADE 8 bolts and nuts. While doing the Driver's side, I would go a head and remove the Passenger side and install new radius arm bushings there also.
