easy remove set bolt raise top a arm lower spindle off axle them do what ya need to

 

So once you remove the castle nut off the axle, the axle will slide out of the hub without taking disc, caliper, etc. off ?

 

Yes sir

 

OK last question.. How is the ball joint held in the a-arm ? Haven't torn into it, just looking.. Looks like the top of it is hex head with a snap ring so was wondering if it threads out/in or if it's pressed in/out.. Looks like it would be pressed out from the top but couldn't fiqure out why the top is hex head.. Any pointer's..... Thanks

 

Press fit, I have not tried a ball joint tool on it but it should work with the proper adapters.

What ball joints you putting back in it? EPI goes for about $45 / side..

 

Just putting the originals back into the 2 new lower arms I'm replacing.. They only have about 430 miles on them since new.. 25 hrs/ 430 miles and 2 bent arms, blown belt, and massive oil leak at case halves at rear of engine and above oil filter ? And it's 2 months out of warranty and cannot get ahold of any at A/C ? Wondering what I got myself into ?

 

Call your dealer and talk about the oil leaks this is a common problem with the older units. Do a search for it many have had it replaced under warranty even thou it was out.

 

Taking pictures and taking it back to the dealer hopefully this week.... Thanks

 

New arms will come with new ball joints and bushings already installed.

 

Mine was 8 months out of warranty with 580 miles and my dealer handled everything. No money out of my pocket at all. The turn around time was 3 weeks. No fuss at all. In fact he was very apologetic. Talk with your dealer.

 

That's good news, Thanks
