While recently changing the brakes on my dad's 96 T100, I noticed that the whole A Arm shook as I wrenched on the bolts to take the calipers off. So, a week later, I began dis-assembly, and here are the steps.
1. Raise truck, supporting the frame with jack stands.
2. Remove tire.
3. Remove the 4 bolts that bolt the A arm to the spindle (what the rotors are mounted to) (Both nut and bolt are 12mm).
4. Remove the 2 bolts that are at the frame side of the A arm (19mm).
Before next step, note that there are shims that are between the frame and the bar on the back of the A arm, which need to be replaced in the same orientation as they were removed.
5. Open the hood and remove the two bolts that bolt throuhg the bar on the back side of the A arm, which bolt to the frame (19mm).CAREFUL OF THE SHIMS!!!
6. The A arm will now slide out, and you will need to take it to a machine shop to have the old bushings pressed out, and the new bushings pressed in.
7. Replace in the same order as removed and voila!
