Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 7:31 pmThats true I should do that.Thanks man 
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:56 pmNow I have another problem how do I get these out?
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:58 pmEither a hammer or a ball joint seperator.
If you're gonna get a ball joint seperator get a proper one ie

Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:04 amI'll give it a try tommorow again I won't use a hammer because I ddon't want to mess up the threads.
Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 2:18 amI finally finished taking off the hub putting my studs in and the hub is back on I get to drive it now.

Thats true but I ran into another problem AGAIN.Now when I try to tighten the ball joints everything starts to spin. Please don't tell me I have to replace them

Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 2:27 amWhile tightening the bolt, you also have to aply pressure to keep the ball joint apart from the control arm.
