Rear Upper Control Arm Removal Tips

I recently replaced the right rear upper control arm on my F-Type after noticing some clunking noises coming from the right rear when driving over rough roads or speed bumps. The replacement of the arms were based on a visual inspection that revealed rubber bushings were severely damaged. During the replacement process, I encountered a significant challenge: one of the upper bolts had extremely limited access for tools. I tried using various swivel extensions, but none of them worked. Eventually, I discovered the s-shaped wrench set at my local Harbor Freight store that fit perfectly and solved the problem. For anyone planning to work on the upper control arms, I highly recommend this tool—it will make one of the toughest parts of the job much easier! I've attached some photos for a clearer explanation.
