7. Loosen Lower Ball Joint Nut
Locate the lower ball joint nut near the outboard end of the a-arm and remove the cotter
pin using a pair of dikes. Use a 7/8” wrench to loosen the castle nut. Do not completely
remove this nut! Leave 3 or 4 threads left on the nut.
8. Break Loose the Lower Ball Joint Stud
Using your trusty hammer, hit the spindle until the stud pops loose. The castle nut is
there to keep the spring from launching the lower a-arm down.
