What tools do I need?, Another front a arm ? Options

[bodyman]

Ok Everything is loose, Except the front a arm cap and the ball joint. Is the front a arm cap a Allen head? If so what size is it ? also is there a special tool required to get the balljoint loose from the A arm? here are a couple pics of my 2 problem areas.

If you are just trying to get the A-arm off, I'd just disconnect the balljoint from the strut. In other words, you leave the balljoint on the A-arm, unbolt and remove the pin that secures the balljoint to the strut, and pry the balljoint down off the strut.

It's easier, esp, if you don't have the balljoint tool. Removing that balljoint can be tough, because the factory torque spec is something like 180 lb/ft, and without the proper tool, it's hard to get a good enough grip on it.

(Also, you should follow the Rule of Removing Stuff - try to remove the hardest and most challenging stuff first, leaving the obvious and easy for last!)
