tcspeer Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Remove the ball joint pinch bolt and pry the ball joint out, you should then be able to swing it out of the way. Get the fork looking tool to seperate the ball joint. If I remember right the bolt must come out not just loosened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
