Removed the upper arm by removing the two bolts on the rear bar.
Removed the lower arm by removing the cotter pins and unscrewing the 4 nuts holding it up. I noted that on the left side, there was a metal spacer between the arm and the frame.
Now all that is left is the brake line holding the backing plate to the frame. I'll have to clean that more to see how it is connected.
Continued to degrease with the cleaner and wire brush. What a mess it makes! All kinds of black dots all over me when I am done. Got most of the spring done and the upper arm. May have to go over it again with brake cleaner before painting.
