lilnext Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I need some help here. I can't seem to get the lower control arm to come of the axle assembly. Even the pickle fork won't pry it off. Any suggestions before I go pay someone?
Raley Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Well, the ball joint is screwed with a pickle fork, hit it with a big hammer on the side of the lca. 2 or 3 good hits will pop it.
Xeryon Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I had damaged threads on mine and it would just spin if I tried to back it out further. The castle nut would not come off and not enough gap to get anything in there to keep it from spinning. Ended up using the cutoff wheel to the threaded end of the ball joint. No more problems.
Raley Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Oh, someonw hit the threads with a hammer without put the nut over the hole....
