I'm looking for some info from anyone who has experience with changing out front upper control arms on a 07-11 JK. I got some currie adjustables, installed the driver side, then when I went to do the passenger side, the damn exhaust sits dead center where the frame bolt for the control arm needs to be pulled out... Do I need to unbolt that section of exhaust where it meets header? I tried prying exhaust out of the way, but could only move it so far and not enough... thanks

 

I've heard of some guys cutting the bolt and getting a new one

 

yeah I have a new grade 8 bolt to replace it with, but I'm worried getting the bolt in will be just as big a problem as removing

 

After you cut out the old bolt. You can then insert the new one from the other direction. Good Luck!

 

ah ha! see now that's thinkin! cool thanks, I didn't even think of that. Thanks man!!

 

We were able to sneak the bolt out by just prying on the exhaust a little bit and then sneak it back it doing the same.

Cutting it and putting it back in the opposite way is another option as someone above mentioned.
