According to service manual, you have to remove the front end of sturt rod, too, both nuts. As for me, it's not a problem, because the front bushings are usially warn too.

When I do it I just unbolt the UCA at the k-member and that allows me to swing it out to slide the strut rod out. I figure I need to have it aligned with the new SRBs anyway so it dont matter if I loose the camber setting.

Is an alignment nesseary after I do this. I'm not disconnecting the LCA at all.

Thats how the caster is set, so yes...

2 seconds if you have a compressor and air gun, try doing it with a breaker bar

I dont use air tools on that part so it takes me apx 45 seconds to remove it.
