Hi,
I removed my front subframe from my 91 city last week and have slowly stripped it down.
I have removed the tie rods, steering rack, shocks, calipers, and a few bolts. I am going to break the 4 ball joints tomorrow and after that I have no idea on how to remove the bottom arms etc. I have gone through the manuals but I couldnt make sense of it. Any good guides anyone knows of would be much appreciated, also any tips.
Thanks

Mine is purple, but I have been told that's normal

Bottom arms the bolt slides out when you take the nut off.
Top arm, you take the diamond plate off and the pin comes out that way. You need to take both nuts off
Does that make sense?

Yes it does, does it just slide out one the bolts are off? It looked more complicated when I was looking at it. Rookie mistakes!! :)
Thanks for the help

Top arm, the diamond plate is held on by 2 bolts one bolt goes into a captive nut, the other is a nut and bolt.
Undo the 2 nuts on the pin, take the plate off then the pin comes out through the hole where the plate was.
If you need to persuade it, put the nut back on the other end to protect the threads
