caution
  • Do not remove the slotted nut from ball joint. Loosen it and use special tool to avoid possible damage to ball joint threads.
  • Hang special tool with a cord to prevent it from falling.
  • Because it is very dangerous when the ball joint comes off, raise the lower arm using a jack or similar device, making sure that the rebound stopper is free from any reaction force.
  • Hold the upper arm with a pipe to loosen the nut. If you fail to do this, the upper arm will jump out when its ball joint is separated from the knuckle.

2.Tighten the bolt with a wrench to disconnect the ball joint.
