As far as I can remember, just push the tabs in and pull. Take a small flat head and break em loose a little, then they should flex easier.

And Im not exactly sure where you are talking about on the a-arms, but you pretty much have to have a ball joint seperator to break them loose.

Hit the end of the a-arm where the bolt goes through with a hammer. You don't hit the bolt itself. You hit the a-arm.

On electrical connectors there is only one tab to push in. I also use small flat blade screw driver to get leverage. Once apart be sure and pack connector well with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion and make easier to pull apart next time.

lower a-arms about $36 plus shipping, upper is about $55. I would try rethreading it first. Take one of the nuts to a hardware store so you can find out the thread pattern. Then look at the tap and die section. You need to buy the die that matches the bolt pattern.

You can also try a thread file. Nice because there are usually 8 different thread pitches on it.
