The 3 yellow areas which I removed material. The top 2 are the bottom threads of 2 bolts from the engine bay. The bracket pivots on the top bolt. By shaving down the 2 top bolts the bracket can pivot further. This allows less material to be removed from the lower yellow arrow while removing the bushing bolt.

I took a quick look to see how hard the 2 bolts were to remove. It took me 10 seconds to decide to shave the threads down from inside the wheel well. I only shaved the threads not the nut plates.

Close up of the lower arrow. Once 3/16 or so was removed the bolt was able to slide out.

You can kinda see the angle of the bolt and why the sheet metal is in the way.

Otherwise all of the bushings pushed in without issue. They are greased up and ready to be installed now.

I'm guessing this alloy is a bit softer than oem. I've done 10 oem upper arms without something like this happening. It's still usable just a bit ugly.

I managed to bugger up one of the arms while pressing a bushing out.

From what I understand this car has an Alcantara headliner. It seems to be much less durable than a standard headliner. The upper b panels and this rear panel are covered in the same Alcantara material.

Behind the upper b panel. I didn't realize we had seat belts that electrically went up and down :) 5 minutes later I found the button on the door. My seat belt is now more comfortable.

2 screws hold in the upper b pillar panel. The lower B panel must be pulled off to access these 2 screws. With the seat belt unbolted from the seat you feed the seat belt through the panel and it is free from the car.

To remove the upper b panel I unbolted the seat belt from the seat. Plus both front and rear plastic door trim floor panels get pulled up.

Left and right lower B pillar panels. These were only slightly scuffed up. I went ahead and had them recovered.

From what I understand this is where the ops pump is leaking.
