Losi's design on this was super weird
How to I install this arm. I kinda know the car in and out but never had to get to the front arms. Rear arms are simple and easy. But not the fronts. The kind pin doesn't want to move. Idk if it's supposed to stay in or not.

It's probably bent to hell. If the exploded view looks like a Traxxas, use pliers and twist and turn while pulling. This is where titanium shines.
 
Got it
Vise grips
Pulled the king pin out. But bent the brace piece. Forced it in and bent it back. I don't got time to order more parts lol. It works tho.

Pin wasn't really bent. Looked straight to be

You should replace anything damaged. You're putting the components in a bind if the pin or bore is bent. You may not feel it, but it's definitely not going to be as good as a nice straight bore.

You should probably grab a set of reamers.

Or you can grab some of these. Just choose the size(s) you need.
