Oh c'mon,:o) we're not talking about real high tech stuff here... These
are sheet metal a-arms and if the paint burns off, you repaint them
before you put them together. Based on my short and pleasant time around
John, the A-arms on his car are probably downright beautiful and shiny
re-painted. A couple salty winters in the north will do far more to
these arms than any propane torch.

John J. has the right idea, but why do others make it so complicated.
maybe I'm simplistic and this isn't rookie stuff, but  half the beauty
of the SuperPros is that you can grunt and heave on them and not hurt
them or the part it's attached to. It's when you haul out the NASA
approved 2000 ton press that damage starts. This is just good fun messy
car monkey work.

Why does this simple if not grunt-worthy project have to be complicated?
Just unbolt the arms and tear em apart. We have to assume that our hands
on owners will support their car properly... I've done these in my
driveway before purple power was cool, and it is not rocket science...
but that 600 lb. neighbor is a help.

Forget all these presses and air chisels and just get a hacksaw blade,
some screwdrivers, a fat friend and have some fun. Cursing and malt
based beverages help too. SO's can help at the moment you think it won't
fit by reminding you of some infuriating moment in your life for that
extra bit of adrenaline... :o). Have some fun. 

If there is a fitment problem, let me know, as i've done almost all of
the setups and happily service after the sale. Response has been great
towards the SuperPros, and once you are done, it'll drive great.
