Re: [DML] rotor removal, ball joint removal



Hi Ken

Both ball joints can be a pig to get out of the hub carrier - you may have to invest in a ball-joint splitter to get them out. The lower ball joint is press-fitted into the lower control arm and retained with a large circlip. The upper ball joints were originally fitted with four large (what look to me like) rivets. It states in the manual that service replacements will use nuts and bolts. I have not done this myself (yet) but I would probably try using a quality chisel, or failing that, careful use of an angle grinder to take the tops off.

While I am on the topic. what is the best way to remove the lower ball joints from the lower control arm. and is the only way to remove the upper ball joints to drill out the 4 bolts?

Suggestions? What am I missing here...

Thanks
