Default Help installing cusco front camber arm

Got everything out okay, but when putting it back together i noticed there was a gap where the pivoting point is heres a picture



it seems like theres a metal piece that needs to removed from each stock a arm for the cusco, but ive tried prying it hammering it off just wont budge and more and more grease keeps coming out.

I am pretty sure you have to take that piece off the stock arm and reuse it on the Cusco. I don't really recall how I got it off, just keep at it.

Propane torch it to expand the metal and it should slip right off.

Did you buy the arms used? I thought my Cusco arms came with new sleeves. I may be mistaken though.

Heat it up, and that will help a lot. I have seen some DIY threads where some used a small gear puller to get it off.
