Two things.

1) Prior to removing the FCAB, use a permanent marker and mark on the control arm the exact position of the stock bushing on the arm. If you're off by a millimeter it increases the degree of difficulty by several magnitude.

2) Lift the suspension kingpin slightly to alleviate the downwards pressure exerted by gravity. It will make aligning the two extruding holes to the FCAB lollipop easier.
