BALL JOINT SERVICE
Removal
IMPORTANT: Do not reuse a ball joint if it has been
removed for any reason. If removed, it must be
replaced. Use this removal procedure only when
replacing the ball joint.
1. The A-arm must be removed to perform this procedure
(see “FRONT A-ARMS - Removal / Replacement”).
2. Remove the retaining ring from the ball joint.
3. A driver must be used for the removal of the ball joint. Use
the dimensions below to fabricate or locate the correct size
driver to use in the following process.
4. Use a press and correct size driver to remove the ball joint
from the A-arm.
NOTE: The driver must fit the ball joint housing in
the A-arm. This will allow the ball joint to be properly
pressed out of the A-arm without damaging the A-
arm.
