ok so i just got some new ridiculously over priced bushings for my spare tire arm because of that annoying clunk on every bump.
but now i have a question, how do i remove the pins so that i can replace the bushings? do they pry apart, or do i just hit it with a hammer, and do i need to remove the carrier arm from the blazer or not?

 

its ok everyone i figured it out, unfortunately you have to unbolt the carrier from the blazer, then you have to hit the pins from the bottom with a hammer until they pop out, if it is a bit rusty like mine it takes a little while to break them loose
