Update: Got the front finished. I ended up using a racheting tow strap hooked to each front a arm. with the aid of a crow bar I was able to rachet enough presure to pull the A arms in and get the washers seated seated correctly and the bolts in.

I then got to work on the rear. The KMAC kit comes with an extraction tool to push out the old bushing. the tool pretty much bent and got distorted but the bushing would not come out. I removed both rear lower a arms and am going to take them to a machine shop and have the old bushing pressed out. once out the new kit should be pretty easy to install.
