Seems pretty simple. Going to read through the Haynes Manual of course. But thought I would ask if anyone has tips? Any special tools? Got new set built up with new bushings, ball joints, new nuts, and turbo tie rods.
Figured I would leave the shocks in place, separate at ball joint, and drop out. Will measure and set the tie rods to get close but figure I would pull the rack to clean up everything. Will get some ride height measurement and such. Seems too easy! |

If I'm not too late. Spray the capturing nut repeatedly. I also tap on the circumference with a small finishing hammer. Now fire up the compressor, take your air chisel with one of the notched tips stuck into one of the recesses on the bottom of the nut and have at it in bursts. No success? Spray, tap, chisel, be patient. After you get the nut off put the nut back on finger tight and use the control arm to pull the ball joint out of the strut assembly.
